A 6-month-old Morgan colt was examined because of preputial edema and multiple nodular masses in the left inguinal region. A tentative diagnosis of lymphatic hamartoma was made on the basis of initial biopsy findings. The prognosis for surgical excision was poor due to the progressive expansile growth of the tumor. Secondary infectious complications developed, and the colt was euthanatized at the owner's request. An abdominal and retroperitoneal mass was seen at postmortem examination. The mass was adherent to the left lumbar musculature, the craniodorsal aspect of the pelvic inlet, the midjejunum, the left testicle, and the left kidney. The mass extended through the left inguinal and femoral canals into the deep intermuscular fascia of the hindlimb. Histologic examination of the mass indicated that it was a cystic lymphangioma.
一匹6个月大的摩根马驹因包皮水肿和左腹股沟区多个结节状肿块接受检查。根据初步活检结果初步诊断为淋巴管瘤。由于肿瘤呈进行性膨胀性生长，手术切除预后不佳。继发感染并发症出现，应主人要求对马驹实施了安乐死。尸检时发现腹部和腹膜后有肿块。该肿块附着于左腰部肌肉组织、骨盆入口的颅背侧、空肠中部、左睾丸和左肾。肿块通过左腹股沟管和股管延伸至后肢深层肌筋膜。对肿块的组织学检查表明它是一个囊性淋巴管瘤。
