The owner stated that this had been going on for about a month. The abdomen was palpated and a large object felt in the posterior abdominal region. A diagnosis of cystic calculus was made.

In equines the formation of exuberant granulation tissue is of common occurrence in wounds which are attended by considerable irritation. However, certain individuals have what is known as "blastoma constitution", which is a tendency to produce enormous amounts of connective tissue from comparatively slight irritation. Frequent sequelae of these exuberations are keloids, which are not true tumors but excessive formations of scar tissue.
