Fibrous epulis (gingival hyperplasia) in a horse, Onl
J Vet Res., 14 (2): 299-301, 2010. Fibrous epulides (gingival hyperplasia) are
rare in the horse. The classification of these gingival lesions in the

reports from different sources. The feature of the 5-cm-mass described in this
report are those of mature fibrous tissue
with chronic-active inflammatory reaction developed in the gingival of a
18-year-old Italian saddle horse gelding, and diagnosed as fibrous epulis or fibrous hyperplasia.
Key words: gingival hyperplasia, epulis,
horse
