−

~~[[Sarcoid - Donkey|Sarcoid]] transformation at wound sites is a very common (and increasingly important) reason~~

−

~~for wound healing failure. Sarcoid fibroblasts are a strong inhibitor of wound healing and the extent~~

−

~~of the sarcoid within the wound/granulation tissue needs not to be high for inhibition to occur. The~~

−

~~extent of the transformation is sometimes very limited but the effects remain profound. Healing~~

−

~~is inhibited until all tumour cells are removed.~~

−

~~Confirmation of the problem is not always easy. Multiple biopsies from different parts of the tissue should be taken to ensure the maximum chance of finding it.~~

−

~~Special precautions such as early dressing application and particularly~~

−

~~control of fly contact should be taken to protect wounds on donkeys that~~

−

~~already have sarcoids at other sites. Wounds that involve sarcoid tissue~~

−

~~are extremely dangerous because they are very difficult and sometimes~~

−

~~impossible to treat.~~
