Article Synopsis
  • Melanomas in horses, particularly gray ones over 16 years old, are common, but a case is noted with a non-gray horse (a 16-year-old Wielkopolski gelding) developing issues.
  • The horse initially had a keratoma removed, but after regrowth and continued lameness, further surgeries were done leading to different histopathological results.
  • Eventually, a third examination revealed a low-differentiated malignant neoplasm with high malignancy, indicating a severe progression of the horse's condition.
