In a 15-year-old mare of the Spanish-Breton breed, multiple nodular lesions, small (<2mm) and of generalized miliary distribution were observed in the musculature and adipose tissue of the carcass.<\/p>\n

Histopathological examination evidenced, in both tissues, granulomatous myositis and setatitis lesions with abundant eosinophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes. This type of lesion is compatible with a parasitic etiology. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, some muscle fibers were spotted with Sarcocystis spp.<\/em><\/strong> cysts within their cytoplasm, but those were not associated with the lesions.<\/p>\n

PAS, Ziehl Neelsen, Grocott and Gram staining failed to demonstrate the presence of other possible agents such as fungi, bacteria, mycobacteria or other parasites.<\/p>\n
