Outcome
A month after surgery, the mare aborted her fetus and developed forelimb laminitis. After five months, the laminitis deteriorated and therefore the owner elected for human euthanasia. For the case report purpose, a necropsy was performed. Samples of the jejunum were submitted for histopathology and showed jejunitis and serositis. The distal jejunum showed multiple granulomas. The histopathology results found the submucosa to be mildly edematous with a mild increase in collagenous tissue. Moderate to large numbers of eosinophil infiltrates were identified within the submucosa, from immediately subjacent to the lamina propria to the muscular tunics. The serosa was thickened, with fibroplasia, and there were serosal and subserosal granulomas that contained large numbers of hemosiderin-laden macrophages.
