There are cases on record where rapidly growing sarcomatous and angiomatous tumours, aneurysms, and the bruises that occur in hæmophylics, have been mistaken for acute abscesses and incised, with disastrous results. #Treatment of Acute Abscesses.# The dictum of John Bell, "Where there is pus, let it out," summarises the treatment of abscess.
Angiomatous tumors are occasionally found affecting horses' legs usually the result of some injury; and because of their size or position, they mechanically interfere with function. Furthermore, when such tumors are located on the inner or flexor side of joints, enough pain is occasioned that affected animals show evidence of distress, usually by intermittent lameness.
