  • Title: [A Shetland pony with a squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach].
    Author: Geelen SN, Sloet van Oldruitenborgh-Oosterbaan MM.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 1999 Apr 15; 124(8):248-50. PubMed ID: 10231920.
    Abstract:
    A 12-year-old Shetland pony was referred because of weight loss over several months and symptoms of colic. On rectal examination, enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes and an abnormal mass in the left anterior abdominal cavity were palpated. Haematological evaluation revealed leucocytosis (13 G.l-1) and an abnormal electrophoretic pattern (31.8% albumin, 18.8% alpha-globulins, 29.0% beta-globulins, 20.4% gamma-globulins). Peritoneal fluid collected by abdominal paracentesis did not contain neoplastic cells. Gastroscopy was performed and a mass, with areas of ulceration and necrosis, was visualized within the oesophageal region of the stomach. The diagnosis 'squamous cell carcinoma' of the stomach was confirmed histologically at necropsy.
