Abstract
A case of granulomatous enteritis in a 2 yr old thoroughbred colt is reported. Clinically the horse showed chronic wasting and subcutaneous edema of the ventral parts of the body and legs. Grossly the wall of the jejunum and ileum was uniformly thickened. Microscopically the lamina propria, submucosa and the tunica muscalaris of the small intestine were infiltrated with lymphocytes, plasma cells, epithelioid cells and occasional multinucleated giant cells. The granulomatous reaction was most marked in the muscular layers of the gut wall.
