HISTIOCYTIC SARCOMA OF THE NASAL CAVITY IN A HORSE

Abstract

Abstract – Histiocytic diseases in veterinary medicine have been revised in the last few decades, 22 but these are considered relatively rare in horses. This report describes a 9-year-old female horse, 23 Dutch Warmblood, presented for investigation of severe nasal bleeding. A multinodular bilateral 24 mass of 5 cm, reddish to white in color, that invaded and destroyed the surrounding tissues, was 25 observed during a clinical examination of the nostril The morphological features of the tumor cells 26 were represented by cytologically bizarre, highly phagocytic, multinucleated giant cells. These 27 findings, together with immunohistochemical results allowed a diagnosis of histiocytic sarcoma.
