An ultrasound examination of the thorax of three horses which were performing poorly or had mild signs of colic showed that they had a cranial mediastinal mass and a pleural effusion. A cytological examination of the pleural fluid showed that it did not contain neoplastic cells. A histological examination of an ultrasound-guided core biopsy of the cranial mediastinal mass showed that in each of the three horses it was a lymphosarcoma.
对三匹表现不佳或有轻度绞痛症状的马进行胸部超声检查，结果显示它们有一个纵隔前部肿块和胸腔积液。对胸腔积液进行细胞学检查，结果显示其中不含有肿瘤细胞。对纵隔前部肿块进行超声引导下的核心活检组织学检查，结果显示这三匹马中的每一匹都患有淋巴肉瘤。
