ABSTRACT
Enrico V, Federico M, Fabio R, Giuseppe S, Cinzia
B., Fibrous epulis (gingival hyperplasia) in a horse,
Onl J Vet Res., 27 (12):674-677, 2023. Fibrous epulides gingival hyperplasia are
rare in the horse and classification of these gingival lesions varies greatly.
An 18 year saddle gelding was referred for treatment of intraoral pedunculated
5cm diameter mass located on vestibular mucosa between bone of right 1st
and 2nd incisor upper jaw. The firm mass was reported as rapidly
growing and non-painful, but causing poor mastication due to the upper lip
deviation. Radiography by lateral
projection excluded bone involvement. Standing horse was sedated with 1.1mg/kg Xilazin IV for surgical removal. Bleeding wound was washed
in polycresulene. Mass was removed for microscopy
stained with hematoxylin, eosin and Masson’s
trichrome Nine months after removal we found no recurrency
which we diagnosed as fibrous epulis or hyperplasia.
Key words: Gingival hyperplasia, epulis,
horse.
