Abstract
AbstractA periocular neurofibrosarcoma was debulked and treated with intralesional cisplatin in a 5‐year‐old Thoroughbred mare. The horse presented with a 1‐year history of a large slowly progressing subcutaneous mass over the right supraorbital process. The mass was surgically debulked, and intralesional cisplatin (1.0 mg/cm3) was injected in 3 doses at 2 weeks, 5 weeks, and 8 weeks postoperatively. No recurrence was noted over a 15‐month follow‐up period. Histopathology of the mass indicated neurofibrosarcoma.
