“…Compared with the literature, the clinical appearance of our case was similar to a haemangiosarcoma presented by Lempe et al (2008) as well as hamartomas described by Colbourne et al (1997) and Saifzadeh et al (2006). The haemangiomas presented by Zafra et al (2012) differed because they presented as alopecic plaques rather than firm swellings under intact skin. In conclusion, there seems to be a significant variability in macroscopic appearance which makes a specific diagnosis based on clinical presentation impossible.…”

“…Most vascular proliferations occur on the extremities (Hargis and McElwain 1984;Johnstone 1987;Platt 1987;Johnson et al 1996;Colbourne et al 1997;Saifzadeh et al 2006;Lempe et al 2008;Zafra et al 2012) but other locations in the skin have also been described (Hargis and McElwain 1984;Platt 1987;Johnson et al 1996).

“…Vascular malformations such as hamartomas result from an error in morphogenesis and are characterised by an excessive focal overgrowth of mature normal tissue (Hargis and McElwain 1984). Their growth rate is usually slower than in masses of neoplastic origin (Johnson et al 1996;Colbourne et al 1997;Zafra et al 2012). Haemangiomas are benign expansively growing vascular neoplasms and consist of proliferating vascular channels lined by flattened endothelial cells and separated by a collagenous stroma.…”

We describe a case of a 2-year-old mare that presented with a large firm swelling on the lateral aspect of the right tarsus. Diagnostic ultrasound demonstrated a fluid filled cavernous mass that was not clearly demarcated from the surrounding subcutaneous tissue. Contrast radiography with intralesional injection of contrast medium showed accumulation of the medium in the caverns of the mass and in the saphenous vein. Contrast enhanced computed tomography demonstrated 2 vascular meshes, one deep and one more superficially, closely associated with the mass. Surgical excision of the mass was performed and a vascular hamartoma was diagnosed based on histopathology. The horse showed no signs of recurrence 7 months after surgery.

“…The clinical appearance of haemangiomas in horses varies considerably, and lesions may present as hyperpigmented, alopaecic, hyperkeratotic plaques or as well-circumscribed, firm to fluctuant nodules with normal, alopaecic or ulcerated skin (Zafra et al 2012). Macroscopically, haemangiomas may resemble exuberant granulation tissue, but the 2 conditions are easily distinguished by histology (Perez-Ecija et al 2014).…”

Summary A 3‐day‐old male foal was presented with a fluctuant 25 × 15 cm mass on the thorax. The mass had increased in size since birth. The mass did not respond to conservative treatment consisting of aspiration of serohaemorrhagic contents and compression bandages, and it was therefore surgically removed when the foal was approximately 2½ weeks. A histopathological diagnosis of cavernous haemangioma was made. Healing progressed without complications despite a large surgical wound left to heal by second intention. Recurrence was not observed during the 1.5‐year follow‐up period.
