Treatment of haemoperitoneum secondary to ruptured granulosa cell tumours in two mares

Determination of serum anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations for the diagnosis of granulosa-cell tumours in mares.

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Endocrinological assays are important for evaluation of mares with granulosa-cell tumours (GCTs), and our research in mares indicates that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) may be a good biomarker for this type of ovarian tumour. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the use of serum AMH concentrations for endocrine diagnosis of GCTs in mares. METHODS Archived serum samples (n = 40...

Spontaneous haemoperitoneum secondary to a Meckel's diverticulum.

Meckel's diverticulum is a relatively common gastrointestinal entity which occasionally causes complications. Meckel's diverticulum is classically described to mimic acute appendicitis when inflamed as well as being a cause of unexplained luminal gastrointestinal bleeding. An unusual cause of spontaneous non traumatic haemoperitoneum found during surgery performed for a suspected acute appendic...

How to Use Anti-Müllerian Hormone Testing to Diagnose Granulosa Cell Tumors in Mares

The Transcriptional Targets of Mutant FOXL2 in Granulosa Cell Tumours

BACKGROUND Despite their distinct biology, granulosa cell tumours (GCTs) are treated the same as other ovarian tumours. Intriguingly, a recurring somatic mutation in the transcription factor Forkhead Box L2 (FOXL2) 402C>G has been found in nearly all GCTs examined. This investigation aims to identify the pathogenicity of mutant FOXL2 by studying its altered transcriptional targets. METHODS Th...
