Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Oncology
  • Equine Medicine

Background:

  • Equine tumors are infrequent but frequently occur in the head.
  • Head tumors encompass skin, sinus/nasal, bony, guttural pouch, pharyngeal, oral, and laryngeal neoplasms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinical signs, prognoses, and therapeutic options for equine head tumors.
  • To provide an overview of various equine head neoplasia types.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of equine head tumors.
  • Discussion of specific tumor types, locations, and treatment modalities.

Main Results:

  • Head tumors include sarcoids, squamous cell carcinomas, odontogenic and bony tumors, and neoplasms of the guttural pouch, pharynx, oral mucosa, larynx, sinuses, and nasal passages.

  • Deeper head tumors generally have a poor prognosis.
  • Sarcoids, ossifying fibromas, and paranasal sinus osteomas can often be treated effectively with cytoreductive surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • Effective treatment strategies exist for specific equine head tumors, particularly with surgical intervention.
    • Prognosis varies significantly based on tumor type and location within the equine head.
