No, you should have a equine veterinarian come out and biopsy the tumor to see how aggressive it is. Once that is done the vet can tell you what treatment is best for your horse. meat tenderizer has been used on proud flesh, but not on sarcoids as it will not do anything to the sarcoid other than possibly irritate the horse.
Perhaps. A lipoma is a fatty tumor but this in not usually seen in sarcoidosis.
For difficult to treat (refractory) sarcoidosis and sarcoidosis involving the nervous system (neurosarcoidosis), recent research using biologic medications that inhibit tumor necrosis factor (TNF-blockers) has been beneficial. The TNF-blockers used were adalimumab (Humira) and infliximab.
it could also be a tumor or like a blood clot or something serious. it could just be bone.
My pulmonologist tells me that the granuloma tumors that I have in my lungs (four in the left lung and one on the right) is from the COPD. He has ruled out sarcoidosis. I would like to know that are the chances that these granuloma tumors will turn cancerous.
No, a tumor in the lungs is a sign of lung cancer.
Maybe
The most common ICD-9 code for an undiagnosed mass or tumor is 239. It could vary though depending on where the mass or tumor was found.
A true thyroid tumor would be a carcinoma. However, there is the possibility of metastasis of a tumor from another part of the body, at which point it could be just about anything.
They are the part of and have left the primary tumor, can sit in bone marrow, lymph and could also be floating in a blood stream. But they don't grow new tumor normally as in metastases does.
Your horse may have 'Cushing's Syndrome' which is caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland. It may be worth it to treat it if it is caught early enough. Have your vet see your horse. It's treatable with medication but not curable.
PLease go to your vet and ask him it could be a tumor or an irritation, that is all I can tell you. Go see your vet. PLease go to your vet and ask him it could be a tumor or an irritation, that is all I can tell you. Go see your vet.
A hard tumor is not a tumor
