Un caso de queratoma en el casco de un caballo
Abstract
Keratomas are uncommon benign neoplasms of the horse hoof with epithelial origin, which are developed from keratin-producing squamous cells of the hoof wall. Normally these processes are related to a previous history of intermittent lameness. Clinical, macroscopic and histopathologic features of a keratoma in the hoof of a horse with a clinical history of chronic lameness are described in this paper.

A neoplasic proliferation was observed at the histopathologic examination, consisting of epithelial cells and several layers of keratin.Downloads
