Acute pancreatitis following granulosa cell tumor removal in a mare

Diego E Gomez et al. Can Vet J. 2015 Oct.

Abstract
in English, French

Acute pancreatitis is a rare disease in horses and is often associated with gastrointestinal disorders. Accurate diagnosis is challenging due to the presence of nonspecific clinical signs. This case represents the first documentation of acute pancreatitis in a horse following surgery of the reproductive tract.

Pancréatite aiguë consécutive à l’enlèvement d’une tumeur de la granulosa chez une jument. La pancréatite aiguë est une maladie rare chez les chevaux et est souvent associée aux troubles gastro-intestinaux. Un diagnostic exact est difficile en raison de la présence de signes cliniques non spécifiques. Ce cas représente la première fois qu’une pancréatite aiguë est documentée chez un cheval après la chirurgie de l’appareil reproducteur.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
