Focal enlargements of the uterus are palpable through the rectal wall and have various aetiology. Aspects of their diagnosis, possible pathogenesis, significance and treatment are presented. Lymphatic lacunae appear to be quite common in older mares and may occasionally give rise to large endometrial cyst, but more frequently cause widespread change throughout the uterine horns. Three unusual ovarian abnormalities are presented, a large, oestrogen-producing granulosa cell tumour, an oestrogen-producing large follicle in a 4-month-old filly, and an ectopic progesterone-producing adrenal structure bordering on neoplasia.
