Tumors of the musculoskeletal system are rare in horses; however, they must be taken seriously. Diagnosis requires observation of clinical signs, radiographic findings, and histological examination. Veterinarians must realize prognosis is not favorable for most tumors; however, some of these tumors can be treated or at least ameliorated. Tumors discussed in this article include: osteoma and osteosarcoma; osteoblastoma; chondrosarcoma; fibroma and fibrosarcoma; plasma cell myeloma; synovioma; rhabdomyosarcoma and tumors metastatic to the musculoskeletal system.
肌肉骨骼系统肿瘤在马匹中较为罕见;然而,必须予以重视。诊断需要观察临床症状、影像学检查结果以及组织学检查。兽医必须认识到,大多数肿瘤的预后不佳;不过,其中一些肿瘤可以得到治疗,或者至少有所缓解。本文讨论的肿瘤包括:骨瘤和骨肉瘤;成骨细胞瘤;软骨肉瘤;纤维瘤和纤维肉瘤;浆细胞骨髓瘤;滑膜瘤;横纹肌肉瘤以及转移至肌肉骨骼系统的肿瘤。
