A 1-year-old 195-kg (429-lb) Quarter Horse colt, procured for resale purposes, was evaluated at the Auburn University Large Animal Teaching Hospital because of continuous bilateral, mucopurulent nasal discharge accompanied by respiratory noise of 6 months’ duration. The respiratory noise had worsened during the week prior to the evaluation. The colt had been treated intermittently with systemic broad-spectrum antimicrobials without a positive response. Clinical and radiographical examination revealed a poorly demarcated sinusitis of the left maxillary and conchofrontal sinuses. Surgical exploration of the involved left paranasal sinuses and histological examination of the mass allowed the diagnosis of a poorly productive, osteoblastic osteosarcoma .

Abstract
A 1-year-old 195-kg (429-lb) Quarter Horse colt, procured for resale purposes, was evaluated at the Auburn University Large Animal Teaching Hospital because of continuous bilateral, mucopurulent nasal discharge accompanied by respiratory noise of 6 months’ duration. The respiratory noise had worsened during the week prior to the evaluation. The colt had been treated intermittently with systemic broad-spectrum antimicrobials without a positive response. Clinical and radiographical examination revealed a poorly demarcated sinusitis of the left maxillary and conchofrontal sinuses. Surgical exploration of the involved left paranasal sinuses and histological examination of the mass allowed the diagnosis of a poorly productive, osteoblastic osteosarcoma .I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
