    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Oncology
    • Equine Surgery

    Background:

    • Rectal masses in horses can present diagnostic and surgical challenges.
    • Leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors of smooth muscle origin.

    Observation:

    • A 4-year-old mare presented with a mass on the dorsal rectal wall.
    • The mass was surgically excised under general anesthesia.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination confirmed the mass as a leiomyosarcoma.
    • Despite incomplete surgical excision, no recurrence was observed over an 18-month follow-up period.

    Implications:

    • Surgical intervention can be effective for equine rectal leiomyosarcomas, even with incomplete margins.
    • Further research into prognostic factors for equine rectal tumors is warranted.
