J Vet Diagn Invest. 2011 May;23(3):589-92. doi: 10.1177/1040638711403409.

Abstract

An ovarian mucinous cystadenoma is described in a gray brocket deer (Mazama gouazoupira). The tumor was histologically characterized by the presence of cysts and proliferation of papillae, both lined by single- or multi-layered pleomorphic epithelial cells that contained alcian blue-positive mucins.
