Plain-English summary
A 2-year-old horse was brought in for colic, which is a type of abdominal pain, and showed signs of reflux during a stomach tube procedure. After a thorough examination, veterinarians discovered a tumor in the duodenum (part of the small intestine). They successfully removed the tumor without causing any damage to the intestine, and the horse recovered well without any complications.

A 2-year-old horse with signs of colic, reflux on nasogastric intubation, and large colon distention on transrectal palpation was found to have a leiomyoma involving the duodenum. The mass was excised without penetration of the lumen of the small intestine, and the horse recovered without complications.
