Abstract
Published figures from veterinary schools indicate that tumors may account for about 1-3% of surgical cases. In this paper an account is given of clinical and pathological aspects of the tumors that are most likely to be encountered in practice, either as visibly or palpably detectable masses of tissue, or as internal tumors responsible for clinical signs. Among the common and important tumors dealt with, the most prominent are equine sarcoid, squamous cell carcinoma (of eye region and glans penis), granulosa cell tumors and melanomas. Over 100 references provide entry to the relevant literature. The need for further pathological and clinical studies of equine tumors is stressed.
