Abstract
CARVAJAL, Juan Sebastián; BONILLA, Andrés Felipe and RONDON-BARRAGAN, Iang Schroniltgen. Squamous Cell Carcinoma with lung metastasis in a Colombian native Equine: a case report. Ces. Med. Vet. Zootec. [online]. 2012, vol.7, n.2, pp.56-63. ISSN 1900-9607.
In this paper a 14-years-old Colombian native horse is reported, which was submitted by the presence of a mass in the foreskin region (20 x 20 cm) which blocked the passage of urine. Histopathological analysis of the biopsy of the mass revealed a squamous cell carcinoma. Tumor progression, and its size increased area increasingly committed which complicated surgical resection. Subsequently, the animal showed progressive decay, and the caregiver decided compassionate euthanasia. Histopathological analysis of samples taken at necropsy revealed pulmonary metastases of the foreskin neoplasia with peribronchial distribution.
