Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Oncology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Thoracic neoplasia is uncommon in horses.
  • Granular cell tumors are the most frequently reported primary pulmonary tumors in equine populations.
  • Respiratory disease necessitates thorough diagnostic evaluation.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old Thoroughbred gelding presented with respiratory issues.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including radiography and ultrasonography-guided needle aspirate cytology, was performed.
  • A primary lung tumor was identified during postmortem examination.

Findings:

  • Histologic examination confirmed a bronchioalveolar adenocarcinoma.
  • The case represents a rare instance of this specific pulmonary neoplasm in a horse.
  • The antemortem diagnosis was supported by imaging and cytologic findings.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for diverse primary lung tumors in horses beyond granular cell tumors.
  • Accurate antemortem diagnosis of equine lung cancer can be achieved through advanced imaging and cytologic techniques.
  • Further research into the incidence and characteristics of equine thoracic neoplasia is warranted.
