Large animal cutaneous neoplasia
Learning Objectives
- When faced with a skin tumor on a large animal species, be able to develop a plan for diagnosis and treatment, based upon the presenting clinical signs, the likely differentials and the latest evidence
The numbers of LA tumors are limited due to the shorter lifespan of horses and cattle. The most common equine tumors are sarcoids, melanomas and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). These can often be differentiated on appearance. The most common bovine tumors are lymphosarcoma and SCC. These present differently and in different age groups.
