Pharmacologic inhibition of COX-2 is associated with antitumor activity in various human and canine malignancies. The purpose of this study was to assess COX-2 expression in a series of equine sarcoids, melanomas, and squamous-cell carcinomas (SCC). COX-2 expression was assessed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 14 sarcoids, 11 melanomas, and 37 SCC that represent various anatomic sites by using standard immunohistochemical methods. COX-2 was expressed in 2 of 14 sarcoids, 7 of 11 melanomas, and 32 of 37 SCC, 56% of which demonstrated moderate-to-strong immunoreactivity. There were no differences in expression between anatomic sites. In conclusion, most equine SCC and many melanomas appear to express COX-2 and thus could respond to COX-2 inhibitor therapy. }, number={6}, journal={VETERINARY PATHOLOGY}, author={Thamm, D.

Valentine (1995) proposed the classification of 4 separate forms of equine melanocytic tumours based on their distinct clinical, histological and behavioural characteristics: melanocytic nevus, dermal melanoma, dermal melanomatosis and anaplastic melanoma. A variety of presenting locations have been reported, but dermal melanomas and melanomatosis typically involve the perineum, ventral tail and external genitalia (MacGillivray et al. 2002), and whilst they may invade only locally, metastasis is considered to be the eventual outcome (Valentine 1995). However, a horse may live for several years with metastatic melanoma, depending on exactly where the metastasis occurs and to what extent. Despite the importance, and relatively common occurrence of this type of tumour, few reports of systemic metastasis of clinical significance can be found in the literature (Kirker-Head et al. 1985; Patterson-Kane et al. 2001; Tarrant et al. 2001; MacGillivray et al. 2002).

Gross postmortem examination revealed no additional abnormal findings, but defined the extent of the atresia (Fig 2). Histopathology was not performed. Congenital anomalies in alpacas are not well described in the literature, nor are they thoroughly understood by veterinarians and alpaca owners. There has been one case of anorectal atresia and rectovaginal fistula in an alpaca in Australia (Carraro and others 1996). This malformation was corrected surgically when the alpaca was a neonate, and the animal was reported to be thriving at nine months of age. Atresia coli is corrected surgically with an end-to-end, side-to-side or end-to-side anastomosis of the proximal blind end of the colon to the descending colon, without removal of the atresic portion of bowel (Smith 1982, Smith and others 1991). The prognosis is poor to fair for animals undergoing surgery, with short-term survival rates of 43 to 71 per cent (Ducharme and others 1988, Constable and others 1989, Atresia coli in an alpaca cria}, number={17}, journal={VETERINARY RECORD}, author={Poulsen, KP and Elce, YA and Frederico, LM and Remick, AK and Capucille, DJ}, year={2006}, month={Apr}, pages={598–599} }
