Osteochondroma at the distal radial metaphysis in a horse

Abstract

The present report describes a case of osteochondroma formation at the left distal radial metaphysis in a 3-year-old warmblood stallion. The horse displayed the typical clinical and radiographic symptoms of this condition. The osteochondroma was subsequently removed surgically employing a medial incisional approach to the carpal canal sheath. Gross pathologic and histologic examination of the extirpated bony process confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma. Follow-up 4 months postoperatively revealed that the horse was no longer showing clinical symptoms referable to the original disease.
