Abstract
A 6-year-old Thoroughbred mare had a 7-cm ulcerated mass on the crania l aspect of the left cervical area. Ultrasonography revealed the mass to be < 1 cm thick and composed of small lobules that were filled by m aterial hypoechoic to the surrounding muscle tissues. Fine-needle aspi ration of the mass yielded blood, and cytologic examination revealed a few epithelial cells with neoplastic changes. Thoracic radiography re vealed an interstitial pattern with several disseminated nodules. A di agnosis of cutaneous hemangiosarcoma with pulmonary metastases was mad e. The diagnosis was confirmed at necropsy.
