Six cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach in horses seen at the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine are compared with 15 similar cases reported previously. Clinical signs included anorexia in all cases, emaciation, fever, anaemia and/or palpable abdominal masses in 3, colic in 2 and dysphagia in one case. Haematological studies revealed normochromic, normocytic anaemia in 3 and absolute neutrophilia in 5 cases. Peritoneal fluid analysis was performed in 4 cases and revealed slightly to moderately elevated total protein concentrations in 3 and a markedly elevated number of white blood cells in 2 cases. Exploratory laparotomy, performed in 3 cases, was essential for a definitive diagnosis. The data presented here suggest that squamous cell carcinoma of the equine stomach may be increasing in frequency and demonstrate the need for prospective epidemiological studies.
将纽约州兽医学院收治的6例马胃鳞状细胞癌病例与之前报道的15例类似病例进行了比较。临床症状包括所有病例均有厌食，3例出现消瘦、发热、贫血和/或可触及的腹部肿块，2例出现绞痛，1例出现吞咽困难。血液学研究显示3例为正色素正细胞性贫血，5例为绝对中性粒细胞增多。4例进行了腹腔液分析，3例显示总蛋白浓度轻度至中度升高，2例白细胞数量明显升高。3例进行了剖腹探查术，这对明确诊断至关重要。本文提供的数据表明，马胃鳞状细胞癌的发病率可能在增加，并表明有必要进行前瞻性流行病学研究。
