    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Equine Neoplasia
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common skin tumor in horses.
    • Understanding the epidemiological characteristics of SCC is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
    • Previous studies have documented SCC in horses, but data on specific locations and prevalence over time is valuable.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and distribution of squamous cell carcinoma in horses based on a decade of registry records.
    • To identify the most frequently affected anatomical sites for equine SCC.
    • To determine the proportion of SCC among all recorded neoplasms in the reviewed population.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of neoplasm registry records from Kansas State University.
    • Inclusion of data from 1961 to 1971.
    • Identification and categorization of all recorded cases of squamous cell carcinoma in horses.

    Main Results:

    • Fifty-eight cases of squamous cell carcinoma were identified in 10 different horse breeds.
    • The mean age of affected horses was 12.4 years.
    • SCC commonly occurred on the head, eye, and ocular adnexa (43.1%), external male genitalia (44.8%), and female perineal region (12.0%).
    • These SCC cases constituted 20.2% of all 287 neoplasms recorded during the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Squamous cell carcinoma is a significant neoplastic finding in horses, with a predilection for specific anatomical sites.
    • The external genitalia and head/ocular regions are primary locations for equine SCC.
    • This historical data provides a baseline for understanding the epidemiology of equine squamous cell carcinoma.
