'''An FNA was collected from a firm, painless mass on the shoulder of a Thoroughbred gelding.'''
<br />
<FlashCard questions="2">
|q1=What cells are present in this smear (Wright–Giemsa, ×100 oil)?
|a1=
*A mixed cell population,
*mainly of neutrophils, with
*many reactive macrophages,
*disrupted eosinophils (in other fields) and
*a mast cell (top right).
Microorganisms are not seen.
|l1=
|q2=What is your diagnosis?
|a2=
Chronic, active and eosinophilic sterile inflammation.<br><br>
Note: Eosinophils may be seen as a part of a nonspecific inflammatory response, but considerations should include the possibility of
*a reaction to a foreign body,
*migrating parasite,
*fungal or yeast infection,
*habronemiasis, or
*irritation due to fly bites or ulceration (not seen in this case). <br>
Eosinophilic inflammation in the horse is a relatively common finding and a specific underlying cause may not always be apparent.
