RESSECÇÃO CIRÚRGICA DE GRANULOMA EOSINOFÍLICO EM PÊNIS: RELATO DE CASO EM EQUINO

This study reports the case of a 7-year-old Mangalarga Machador horse diagnosed with habronemiasis, characterized by granulomatous tumors in the genital region. The animal presented with rapidly growing nodules on the prepuce, without signs of urinary difficulties or significant weight loss. Following clinical evaluation, surgery was recommended for excision of the lesions, followed by histopathological analysis. The diagnosis confirmed the presence of eosinophilic granuloma, typical of habronemiasis. The surgery was successful, with good postoperative recovery and satisfactory healing. The study highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and early intervention, demonstrating the efficacy of surgical treatment in resolving the disease, as well as the need to differentiate it from other conditions that cause similar lesions.
