Plain-English summary
A 14-year-old quarter horse mare was struggling with infertility for two years and had a mass in her right uterine horn. After using ultrasound and a special camera procedure called hysteroscopy to examine the mass, the veterinarian decided surgery was necessary. They performed a partial ovariohysterectomy (removing part of the uterus and ovaries), and the mass was found to be a uterine leiomyoma (a type of tumor). This procedure helped address her infertility issue.

Abstract
A 14-year-old quarter horse mare had a 2-year history of infertility and the presence of a mass in the right uterine horn. Prior to surgery, the mass was determined to be invasive by using ultrasonography and hysteroscopy. A partial ovariohysterectomy was performed. The mass was diagnosed histologically as a uterine leiomyoma.
