  • Title: Gastric leiomyosarcoma in a horse.
    Author: Boy MG, Palmer JE, Heyer G, Hamir AN.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1992 May 01; 200(9):1363-4. PubMed ID: 1601725.
    Abstract:
    Gastric leiomyosarcoma was diagnosed in a 12-year-old Thoroughbred gelding. The horse was examined because of anorexia, weight loss, and intermittent fever of 1.5 months' duration. Antemortem diagnostic testing was extensive, but a definitive diagnosis could not be reached with noninvasive methods. Exploratory celiotomy confirmed an intra-abdominal mass, and the horse was euthanatized. Necropsy revealed a firm mass associated with the distal portion of the esophagus, cranial two thirds of the stomach, and visceral surface of the liver. The histopathologic diagnosis was leiomyosarcoma.
