Case Reports

Placental teratocarcinoma in a mare with possible metastasis to the foal

N Allison, RB Moeller Jr, and R Duncan

Virginia Department of Agriculture, 1100 Bank Street, Suite 600, Richmond, VA 23219, USA.

A teratocarcinoma was diagnosed in the amnion of a 5-year-old Arabian mare that delivered a healthy, full-term foal. The foal died at 2.5 months of age as a result of metastasis of an undifferentiated component of the mass. This case is unique because it is the first reported case of placental teratocarcinoma in animals and the malignant component apparently metastasized to the foal resulting in its death.
