Resumo

Squamous cell carcinoma involving the pars esophagea of the stomach caused recurrent esophageal obstruction in an 11 year old Pinto gelding. The tumor encircled the esophagus and was attached to the diaphragm, spleen, aorta, left adrenal gland and kidney. Definitive diagnosis was provided by biopsy of the mass via standing left flank laparotomy.
