| Özet |
| Mammary tumours are exceptionally uncommon in horses, whereas melanomas are frequently observed in gray horses. Limited information is available regarding the treatment options and corresponding success rates for such cases. This case report aims to describe the surgical treatment of a malignant melanoma in a gray mare. A 5-year-old dark gray mare weighing 440 kg was referred to Kafkas University Animal Health Education Research and Practice Hospital due to a slowly growing pigmented mass located in her right peri-mammary region. Detailed clinical examination and lung X-ray did not reveal any specific metastatic findings. Ultrasonography (USG) and Doppler examination showed an oval solid hypoechoic mass with a well-defined hyperechoic margin and limited vascularization. Surgical extraction of the mass was successfully performed under inhalation anesthesia. Histopathological examination of the removed tumoral mass revealed numerous spindles or epithelioid-shaped neoplastic cells containing large brownish-black granular melanin pigments in their cytoplasm, which were widely distributed throughout the mass. This case demonstrates that careful post-operative monitoring can lead to successful outcomes in the surgical management of rare conditions such as mammary gland carcinomas in mares. However, further studies are needed for long-term follow-up of survival rates. |
