Mammary carcinoma in three mares

Abstract: MAMMARY tumours rarely develop in horses or other herbivores (Feldman 1929, Moulton 1990, and most reports of mammary carcinoma in the mare refer only to single cases (Schmahl 1972, Acland and Gillette 1982, Munson 1987, Foreman and others 1990. However, Seahorn and others (1992) reported mammary carcinomas in four mares. This short communication describes three cases of mammary carcinoma in mares which were diagnosed at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Dublin, over a 10-year period, and confirms that the… Show more

“…Contrary to what occurs in dogs (HEIDRICH & RENK, 1967) and cats (REPPAS et al, 1996;KATO et al, 1998;MACEACHERN et al, 2001;HIRAYAMA et al, 2003), mammary neoplasms are uncommon in herbivores (THEILEN & MADEWELL, 1987;PRENDERGAST et al, 1999;MISDORP, 2002;HIRAYAMA et al, 2003). In equines, rare descriptions of mammary neoplasms are found in animals above 12 years of age (PRENDERGAST et al, 1999).…”

“…Possible complications include no healing of the wound and peritonitis (SEAHORN et al, 1992). Recurrence with the involvement of the other gland in cases of partial mastectomy may occur (PRENDERGAST et al, 1999). This work shows the importance of the histopathological examination in the differential diagnosis between the neoplasms and the chronic inflammation in the mammary gland of mares, as well as, to show that the cytological examination cannot detect the tumor, in case the puncture is made in areas of secondary infection.…”
