Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old Arabian mare was brought in because of a large growth on her ovary, which was diagnosed as an ovarian tumor along with a uterine infection (endometritis). After surgery to remove the affected ovary, the mare recovered well and was confirmed pregnant just three months later. She went on to have a healthy foal without any complications.

Abstract
An 8-year-old Arabian mare was admitted for a large ovarian anovulatory follicle. A clinical diagnosis of ovarian tumor and endometritis was established. Histological examinations revealed an ovarian teratoma and a grade II endometritis. Three months after unilateral ovariectomy, the mare was confirmed pregnant and eventually gave birth uneventfully.
