Resumen
Un equino, sin raza definida, hembra, de 6 años de edad, de San Rafael de Alajuela,
presentaba disnea y descarga nasal bilateral de aspecto seroso y turbio, asociado a una masa
irregular en el septo nasal que obstruía parcialmente las vías respiratorias superiores. Los
hallazgos del cultivo, citología e histopatología determinaron que el agente causal de las
lesiones era Conidiobolus coronatus. La conidiobolomicosis es una enfermedad subcutánea,
piogranulomatosa, sin diseminación sistémica, que afecta la cavidad nasal en equinos. Posterior
al debridamiento quirúrgico de la masa, el animal fue tratado con yoduro de sodio intravenoso,
por varias semanas. Tres meses después de este procedimiento, no hubo recidiva de la lesión.
A 6-year-old mixed breed female horse from San Rafael, Alajuela, Costa Rica was treated from bilateral turbid and serous nasal discharge related to an irregular mass in the nasal septum that was partially obstructing the upper respiratory tract. Findings related to the mycological culture, cytology and histopathology determined that Conidiobolus coronatus was the underlying infectious agent. Conidiobolomycosis is a pyogranulomatous subcutaneous disease, without systemic spread, that affects the nasal cavity in horses. After surgical debridement of the mass, the animal was treated with intravenous sodium iodide for several weeks. Three months after the procedure no recurrence of the lesion was detected.
