Dozens of red, raised nodules scattered along the serosal surface of the small intestine and the right and left ovaries were observed as incidental findings on gross examination in a 21-year-old Thoroughbred mare euthanatized for severe lameness. Histologically, these nodules were composed of numerous, variably sized, redundant vascular profiles filled with red blood cells and fibrin thrombi. Based on the presence of multiple nodules composed of benign vascular channels scattered within the small intestine and ovary, a diagnosis of angiomatosis is proposed. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of small intestinal and ovarian angiomatosis in a horse.
在一匹因严重跛行而实施安乐死的21岁纯种母马的大体检查中，偶然发现小肠浆膜表面以及左右卵巢上散布着数十个红色、隆起的小结节。组织学检查显示，这些结节由众多大小不一、迂曲的血管腔构成，腔内充满红细胞和纤维蛋白血栓。基于在小肠和卵巢内散在分布着多个由良性血管通道构成的结节，提出血管瘤病的诊断。据作者所知，这是马的小肠和卵巢血管瘤病的首例报道。
