Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old gelding (a male horse that has been castrated) had an unusual growing mass in his scrotum. Doctors used ultrasound imaging to examine the mass, which helped them understand what kind of tissue it was and ruled out other possible conditions. This information was important for figuring out the best way to treat the horse. The outcome of the treatment is not mentioned in the abstract.
Abstract
Clinical, echographic, and histopathological features of an unusual enlarging scrotal mass in a 5-year-old gelding are described. Echography of the scrotal mass in this case provided valuable information concerning the nature of the tissue present, and assisted in narrowing the differential diagnosis.
