Abstract

SummaryThis paper describes the occurrence of a lipoma associated with the long digital extensor tendon sheath at the level of the tarsus in a 5‐month‐old female Thoroughbred. Radiographic and ultrasonographic images were interpreted as being an atypically located lipoma. Its position and character have some similarities to lipoma arborescens, which is reported to occur in and around human joints and tendon sheaths. Surgical removal is considered to be the treatment of choice.
