Sarcoid Tumor

Caption

Caption: A 3 cm sarcoid tumor on a horse's ear. Sarcoids often develop as small bumps under the skin or scaly lesions like the one in the photo. Depending on their location on the horse's body, tumors like these can often be removed by a veterinarian. However, in certain horses sarcoids tend to re-grow after surgery, sometimes to much larger tumors that are impossible to cure.
