    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Musculoskeletal lipomas in young horses can occur on the thorax or stifle. Surgical removal of thoracic lipomas showed no recurrence, but stifle lipomas were fatal.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Lipomas are benign tumors of fat cells.
    • Musculoskeletal lipomas are rare in horses.
    • Previous studies focused on mesenteric lipomas in older horses.

    Observation:

    • Three young horses (<2 years) presented with musculoskeletal lipomas.
    • Two lipomas were located on the thorax, one on the stifle.
    • Thoracic lipomas were surgically excised.
    • The stifle lipoma demonstrated invasive behavior.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of thoracic lipomas resulted in no recurrence at 8 months.
    • The invasive stifle lipoma necessitated euthanasia.
    • Age is a differentiating factor between thoracic/stifle and mesenteric lipomas.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical intervention for thoracic lipomas appears effective.
    • Invasive lipomas pose a significant risk, potentially leading to euthanasia.
    • This study highlights the distinct presentation and prognosis of lipomas in young horses.
