This horse presented with subcutaneous mercury panniculitis confirmed by toxicological analysis. Based upon the nature of the lesions the mercury species was elemental mercury (Hg). Despite no history of intentional mercury administration, subcutaneous injection is the presumed most likely route of exposure to Hg.
