A horse was diagnosed with a nasal polyp, which is a growth in the nasal area. The procedure to remove this polyp was done while the horse was standing, using sedation and common tools. The study also looked at the tissue from the polyp under a microscope to understand what it was and considered other possible conditions that could be similar. The treatment was successful in removing the polyp.
