“…Equine sarcoid still needs detailed study in this country. We need to know whether, if it is of virus origin, it is due to the same virus as in America (England, et a/., 1973;Watson and Larson, 1974) and elsewhere; what its cell of origin is (c..fi Watson, eta/., 1972;Walker, 1975); what its epidemiology is-Ragland, et a/. (1966) described a small epidemic in a herd in Eastern Washington in 1965, 5 horses became affected of which 4 were from a highly-inbred pony family; what the incidence of spontaneous regression is; and what are the best methods of treatment (e.g.…”

SUMMARY Published figures from veterinary schools indicate that tumours may account for about 1 to 3 per cent of surgical cases. In this paper an account is given of clinical and pathological aspects of the tumours that are most likely to be encountered in practice, either as visibly or palpably detectable masses of tissue, or as internal tumours responsible for clinical signs. Amongst the common and important tumours dealt with, the most prominent are “equine sarcoid”, squamous‐cell carcinoma (of eye region and of glans penis), granulosa‐cell tumours and melanomas. Well over a hundred references provide entry to the relevant literature. The need for further pathological and clinical studies of equine tumours is stressed. RÉSUMÉ Les chiffres publiés par les Universités Vétérinaires indiquent que les tumeurs constituent de 1 à 3 % des cas chirurgicaux. Dans cet article, on mentionne les signes cliniques et pathologiques des tumeurs les plus fréquemment rencontrées dans la pratique, soit qu'il s'agisse de tumeurs visibles ou palpables, soit de tumeurs internes responsables de signes cliniques. Parmi les tumeurs les plus communes et les plus importantes, on note le “sarcoïde équin”, les carcinomes à cellules squameuses (de la région oculaire ou du gland pénien), les tumeurs à cellules granuleuses et les mélanomes. Plus de cent références sont fournies. La nécéssité de recherches plus poussées, tant cliniques que pathologiques est soulignée. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Die von tierärztlichen Fakultäten publizierten Zahlen lassen erkennen, dass Tumorfälle ungefähr 1 bis 3% aller chirurgischen Patienten ausmachen. Dieser Artikel beschreibt die klinischen und pathologischen Gesichtspunkte bei Tumoren, die in der Praxis am ehesten angetroffen werden, entweder als sicht‐ und tastbare Gewebsmasse oder als innerliche Geschwülste, die für klinische Symptome verantwortlich sind. Unter den häufigsten und wichtigsten erwähnten Tumoren finden sich das “equine Sarcoid”, Plattenzellcarcinome (besonders in Augennähe und an der Glans penis), Granulosazelltumoren und Melanome. Ueber 100 Angaben erleichtern den Zugang zur einschlägigen Literatur. Das Bedürfnis für weitere pathologische und klinische Studien über Tumoren des Pferdes wird hervorgehoben.

“…Although fibromas in domestic animals may be a congenital malformation (Stannard and Pulley 1978), the masses in these horses were not present at birth. The sarcoid, which is the most common equine neoplasm (Sundberg et a/ 1977), may appear similar histologically to the fibroma or granulomata (Baker and Leyland 1975;Jackson 1936;Walker 1975) and, by definition, has both fibroblastic and epithelial components (Baker and Leyland 1975). The nodules excised from the horses in this report lacked an epithelial component.…”

“…Equine sarcoid was first described by Jackson (1936) in South Africa and has been defined by Baker and Layland (1975) and Walker (1975). The term was used to refer to a unique, locally aggressive, fibroblastic skin tumour distinguishable from other skin lesions in equidae.…”

Summary A surgically excised tumour from the thoracic wall of a hunter mare was diagnosed as a fibrosarcoma on histological examination. Its recurrence necessitated further surgery 6 weeks later. Because of the invasive nature of the lesion a prolonged course of chemotherapy was administered postoperatively. The tumour did not recur a second time. Résumé On diagnostiqua par l'histologie qu'une tumeur excisée de la paroi thoracique d'une jument de selle était un fibrosarcome. On euf de nouveau recors à la chirurgie pour combattre une récidive six semaines plus tard. Dès lors, on appliqua un traitement chimiothérapique post‐opératoire. On ne constata plus de récidive. Zusammenfassung Die histologische Untersuchung eines von der Brustwand einer Hunterstute exzidierten Tumors ergab das Vorliegen eines Fibrosarkoms. Ein Recidiv zwang zur erneuten Operation nach 6 Wochen. Wegen der invasiven Natur des Tumors wurde postoperativ längere Zeit eine Chemotherapie durch‐geführt. Der Tumor recidivierte dann nicht mehr.
