  • Title: Nonseptic diseases associated with the hoof complex: keratoma, white line disease, canker, and neoplasia.
    Author: Redding WR, O'Grady SE.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2012 Aug; 28(2):407-21. PubMed ID: 22981198.
    Abstract:
    This article addresses nonseptic diseases associated with the hoof complex, namely keratoma, white line disease, canker, and neoplasia. Keratoma is an uncommon cause of lameness, which may be surgically removed. White line disease, a keratolytic process on the solar surface of the hoof, is treated with therapeutic farriery and resection of the hoof wall when appropriate. Equine canker is an infectious process that results in development of a chronic hypertrophy of the horn-producing tissues. Neoplasia involving the equine foot is rare, and melanoma is the most common type of neoplasm reported.
