[Simulation of an extrauterine pregnancy by a fatty tissue tumor in a Galloway cow].

Abstract

In an eight-year old Galloway cow, an ectopic pregnancy with mummification of the fetus which had been assumed because of history and clinical examination of the animal was diagnosed as a "tumor of the adipose tissue" (steatitis) following exploratory laparotomy. Possible problems of obesity in cows of extensively kept breeds are discussed.
