Granulosa cell tumours (GCTs) are the most common ovarian in equine which involves around 2.5% of all horses and 85% reproductive tract (McCue et al. 2006). Tumours may originate from tissue present within ovary. GCTs often first detected during either routine examination for breeding or when behavioral changes caused by presence tumour ovary requiring further investigation (McKinnon Barker, 2010).
