Abstract

Malignant tumours are uncommon in horses, but when
they do occur, they are most frequently found in the head.
Clinical findings, such as facial swelling and nasal
discharge, are frequently encountered but are
nonspecific. To highlight the usefulness of a computed
tomography (CT) examination in malignancy in the equine
head, this Case Report describes the CT features of a
leiomyosarcoma, an osteosarcoma and a sarcoma in
3 horses. CT of the equine head was able to provide more
information about the extent and severity of lesions than
conventional radiography in these cases.
