The Board granted service connection for residuals of a hysterectomy and denied service connection for a peritoneal mass.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least approximately balanced as to whether the Veteran's current residuals of a hysterectomy disability is related to service, but the evidence weighed persuasively against finding that her current peritoneal mass disability is related to active service or toxic exposures on active duty.
