A total of 201 neoplasms were so analysed, representing 21 different types of tumours. The Thoroughbred horses (13,43 %) and the horses older than 10 years (23,90 %) were significantly more often affected by tumours (p<0,01). The most frequent tumours were benign and had rarely caused clinical effects : they were thyroid adenomas (46 cases), lipomas Search engine (on Planete-vet) Chuit P Jacquet S, Denoix J-M Keyword(s): Pratique Vétérinaire Equine n° - p. 49-53 Back problems are regularly identified as a cause of poor performance in sport horses. The development of ultrasonography improved the knowledge of soft tissue injuries of the back.

When the suspected tumour is visual or palpable, the clinician's main aim should always be ascertain the precise nature of the lesion, its local and general extent, and the existence of any paraneoplastic syndrome, which may have been original reason for suspicion of presence of a tumour. Except in cases of melanoma, cytological and histological examination of sample, which may be taken with the aid of ultrasonography, must be systematised and systematic. In all cases and especially in cases of cutaneous masses, these examinations should be undertaken as soon as possible in order to provide the most effective treatment.

The incidence of oncological cases admissions reported in literature varies depending on authors from 1% to 3% (all tumours localisations included). Abdominal tumours (reproductive tract excluded) account for only 1% of total neoplastic processes. Symptoms of abdominal tumors vary greatly depending on cases. It is rarely straightforward. The aim of this study is to propose a diagnostic approach and illustrate it through some clinical cases. Search engine (on Planete-vet) |
