Lipoma pedunculado e hipoplasia congenita de colon mayor en una yegua criolla colombiana

Abstract

Colic is defined as the manifestation of abdominal visceral pain that can be the result of gastrointestinal or non-gastrointestinal pain, this is classified as acute, chronic or recurrent (Smith, 2015). Chronic and intermittent colic itself is defined as a horse that experiences more than two episodes of acute abdominal syndrome in a 12-month period and can be attributed to a variety of causes (Robinson, 2015). The following is a case report of a 5- year-old Colombian Creole mare admitted to the Equimedic clinic with a history of recurrent colic for approximately 2 months, those colics were treated by a field veterinarian who instituted medical treatment with apparent improvement; However, a definitive resolution was not presented, thus referring it to the clinic, there he proceeded to perform rectal examination, transrectal ultrasound and exploratory laparotomy as surgical treatment, thus determining the presence of a pedunculated lipoma and hypoplasia in a segment of the left dorsal colon as a definitive diagnosis
