Surgery was again performed to remove the masses and then to freeze the areas as to destroy the cancerous cells that may be left around the margins. After the second injection the tumors were treated topically with a different chemotherapeutic drug in the form of a paste.įour months after the last chemotherapeutic drug injection the mare was again presented for the re-growth of the tumors in the same sites. The area was treated three times with a chemotherapeutic drug around the wound site, 3 weeks after the surgery and then again at 3 weeks intervals. The horse was then scheduled for surgery to remove the masses and treat the tumor margins with a chemotherapeutic drug after the wound has healed. A portion of tissue was taken and the masses were diagnosed as sarcoid tissue. The doctors at Equine Medical Service were requested to evaluate and diagnose an eleven-year-old mare for lumps and ulcerations around the horses mammary glands and inguinal area.
