  • Title: Integumentary Disorders Including Cutaneous Neoplasia in Older Horses.
    Author: Knottenbelt DC.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2016 Aug; 32(2):263-81. PubMed ID: 27329491.
    Abstract:
    Few skin diseases specifically or exclusively affect older horses and donkeys. Hypertrichosis (hirsutism) associated with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction is probably the most recognized and best understood exception and is the most common age-related skin condition in equids. Many other conditions are known to be more serious in older horses. Horses affected with immune-compromising conditions can be more severely affected by infectious diseases of the skin or heavy and pathologically significant parasitism. Neoplasia of the skin is probably more prevalent and worse in older horses, although many of the more serious skin tumors develop initially at a younger age.
