    TLDR Equine eosinophilic granuloma is the most common skin disease in horses, while mast cell tumors are less common and differ in their cellular makeup.
    The study investigated equine eosinophilic granuloma (EG) and mast cell tumour (MCT), two skin diseases in horses that may share morphological features. EG is a common inflammatory condition characterized by eosinophil and macrophage infiltration, while MCT is a rare neoplastic disease with mast cell aggregates and similar lesions to EG. The research aimed to explore the morphological and molecular characteristics of these conditions to understand their pathogenesis better. The study analyzed 191 lesions from 153 cases, highlighting the complexity and potential overlap between these diseases.
