Summary A 13‐year‐old, crossbred grey mare was referred for examination of a left‐sided head tilt and neck stiffness which had been noted for several months. Radiographic examination of the head revealed severe periarticular bone formation surrounding the dorsal and ventral margins of the atlanto‐occipital joint and a large multilobular bony mass encroaching on the guttural pouch. Computed tomographic examination confirmed a multiloculated bony mass invading the vertebral canal and causing marked spinal cord compression and displacement. Histologically, this was identified to be an osteochondroma and the horse was conservatively managed.

“…Precise diagnosis via CT has been emphasized in order to avoid unviable treatment approaches [27]. Malignant and benign tumors of the nasal and paranasal sinuses including squamous cell carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, hemangiosarcoma, nasal adenocarcinoma, myxoma, chondroblastic osteosarcoma, anaplastic sarcoma, and fibro-osseous lesions have been described [28][29][30][31]. Henninger et al provided detailed CT descriptions regarding the most common features of sinusitis and alveolitis [32].…”

The horse, as a flight animal with a survival strategy involving rapid escape from predators, is a natural-born athlete with enormous functional plasticity of the respiratory system. Any respiratory dysfunction can cause a decline in ventilation and gas exchange. Therefore, respiratory diseases often lead to exercise intolerance and poor performance. This is one of the most frequent problems encountered by equine internists. Routine techniques used to evaluate respiratory tract diseases include clinical examination, endoscopic examination, radiographic and ultrasonographic imaging, cytological evaluation, and bacterial culture of respiratory secretions. New diagnostic challenges and the growing development of equine medicine has led to the implementation of advanced diagnostic techniques successfully used in human medicine. Among them, the use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging significantly broadened the possibilities of anatomical imaging, especially in the diagnosis of upper respiratory tract diseases. Moreover, the implementation of spirometry, electrical impedance tomography (EIT), and impulse oscillation system (IOS) sheds new light on functional diagnostics of respiratory tract diseases, especially those affecting the lower part. Therefore, this review aimed to familiarize the clinicians with the advantages and disadvantages of the advanced diagnostic techniques of the equine respiratory tract and introduce their recent clinical applications in equine medicine.

[7][8][9][10][11][12] UPSs are one of the most commonly reported soft tissue sarcomas in human patients between 50 and 70years old. The main treatment modality in human medicine is aggressive surgical resection, with local recurrence evident in 13%-42% of patients and metastases in approximately one of three cases.…”

A 4‐year‐old, male Rothschild's giraffe presented with a rapidly growing, hemispherical, approximately 40 × 20 × 20 mm, raised, firm mass located on the mid‐region of the left lateral thigh. Complete surgical excision (minimal 20 mm margins in all orientations) was achieved under behavioural restraint and local anaesthesia. Cytology and histopathology diagnosed a poorly differentiated malignant mesenchymal neoplasm, with nuclear karyomegaly, multinucleation and atypical horseshoe‐like forms. The neoplastic cells exhibited diffuse strong cytoplasmic immunopositivity to vimentin, and were negative to smooth muscle actin, desmin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and CD18 immunomarkers, giving a diagnosis of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. At 1 year follow‐up, the giraffe is clinically well with no health issues after complete excision, and no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastases, based on physical examination and routine haematology/biochemistry. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (atypical fibroxanthoma‐subtype) in a giraffe.
