Plain-English summary
A 6-month-old thoroughbred filly had a recurring growth called a capillary hemangioma, which is a type of benign tumor, located at the edge of her left front leg. To treat this, veterinarians used a diode laser to remove the growth and also applied additional laser therapy to help prevent it from coming back. The treatment was successful, and the filly responded well to the procedures.
