Hemomelasma ilei


This disease develops in the subserosal tissue in the horse ileum and is characterized by multiple irregular-sized blackish red lesions elevated like a relief on the serosal surface. These lesions are generally interpreted as bleeding foci due to passage of larvae of Strongylus vulgaris or other parasites through the serosal tissue and secondary chronic inflammatory lesions.
