Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract. 1998 Dec;14(3):451-73, v. doi: 10.1016/s0749-0739(17)30180-3.

Abstract

Tumors of the equine respiratory tract occur infrequently. An accurate diagnosis of neoplasia of the respiratory tract is critical because the prognosis is usually grave. The clinical signs and diagnostic procedures are discussed for tumors of the nasal and paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx/larynx, guttural pouch and thorax including lung, pleura, and thymus.
