Image size: 1617 x 1096px
A large, firm, polycystic structure replacing the ovary on the tract of a slaughter plant specimen from a beef cow. The bluish appearance of the cysts is probably true, judging by the correct color of the uterus. As for others in this collection, this image from 1980 was labeled as "Ovarian cyst - beef cow". Judging by the size of the tumor and the manner in which it has replaced the ovary, is far more likely that this is a polycystic form of a granulosa cell tumor. Granulosa cell tumors in cattle can be solid, may consist of a single large cyst or can be polycystic or as in this case.
