Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old Hannoverian horse had a swelling in its upper jaw due to a tumor in the hard palate. After examining the tissue under a microscope, the tumor was identified as a primary intra-osseous carcinoma, which is a rare type of tumor that starts in the bone and is related to teeth. This specific type of tumor had not been reported in horses before.
