✦ Synopsis

A small patch of immature-testis-like tubules is described from the ovary of a sexually mature, fertile hippopotamus. It is compared with similar tubules described in the literature from other species and it is concluded that the tubules are derived either from cords formed in the foetal ovary or are an early granulosa-cell tumor.
