Gastric squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed in three horses. Clinical signs observed in all cases were weight loss, anorexia and lethargy. Respiratory signs were prominent in one case. All three horses had depressed albumin and elevated globulin and fibrinogen concentrations. Two horses were mildly anaemic. Inflammatory exudates were present in peritoneal cavities in all cases, and cytological evaluation provided a positive diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma in two cases. Pleural fluid samples taken from two cases were also classified as inflammatory exudates, but no neoplastic cells were detected on initial examination. In all cases the neoplasms had arisen from the oesophageal region of the stomach, and had metastised throughout the abdomen. Two cases had metastatic lesions within the pleural cavity.
三匹马被诊断出患有胃鳞状细胞癌。所有病例观察到的临床症状为体重减轻、厌食和嗜睡。其中一例呼吸症状明显。所有三匹马的白蛋白水平降低，球蛋白和纤维蛋白原浓度升高。两匹马有轻度贫血。所有病例的腹腔内均存在炎性渗出物，两例经细胞学评估确诊为鳞状细胞癌。从两例病例采集的胸水样本也被归类为炎性渗出物，但初次检查未检测到肿瘤细胞。所有病例中，肿瘤均起源于胃的食管区域，并已转移至全腹。两例在胸腔内有转移病灶。
