Anasarca.

Anasarca, edema, is a medical condition characterized by widespread swelling of the skin due
to effusion of fluid into the extracellular space. ..

Angioedema is similar to urticaria, or hives. However, urticaria affects only the upper dermis, or top
layer of skin. Angioedema affects the deeper layers, including the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, the
mucosa, and submucosal tissues

subcutaneous emphysema, can cause air to enter the skin of the chest wall from the neck or lung.
When the pleural membranes are punctured, as occurs in penetrating trauma of the chest, air may
travel from the lung to the muscles and subcutaneous tissue of the chest wall

Hemorrhage an escape of blood from a ruptured blood vessel, especially when profuse.

Gangrene is a condition that occurs when body tissue dies. It is caused by a loss of blood supply due to
an underlying illness, injury, and/or infection. Dry gangrene is a form of coagulative necrosis that
develops in ischemic tissue, where the blood supply is inadequate to keep tissue viable. It is a not a
disease itself, but a symptom of other diseases. ... Dry gangrene is the end result of chronic ischemia
without infection.

subcutaneous abscess is an abscess located in the subcutaneous tissue (also hypodermis). The abscess
is formed due to a hypodermal infection by a bacterium, a fungus or a parasite. An abscess is a
collection of pus that has built up within the tissue of the body.

Cutaneous cyst common, slow-growing lumps.

The pityriasis rosea rash is similar to the rash seen in other skin conditions, including ringworm of the
skin, tinea versicolor, eczema, and psoriasis. A rash similar to pityriasis rosea also can be caused by
syphilis and by certain medicines such as antibiotics.

Hyperkeratosis is thickening of the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the epidermis), often
associated with the presence of an abnormal quantity of keratin, and also usually accompanied by an
increase in the granular layer.

Parakeratosis is another protective reaction of the nonkeratinizing squamous epithelium of the genital
tract, characterized by the presence of various numbers of layers of small squamous cells, sharply
demarcated from the underlying superficial zone. The nuclei are small, frequently pyknotic, and
hyperchromatic.

Impetigo (say "im-puh-TY-go") is a bacterial skin infection. It causes red sores that can break open, ooze

diseases are characterized by itchiness, red skin, and a rash. In cases of short duration there may be
small blisters while in long-term cases the skin may become thickened

Any condition affecting the skin could be categorized a dermatosis. This doesn't include skin conditions
that involve inflammation (that would be dermatitis).

Photosensitization: Photosensitization,, the process of initiating a reaction through the use of a

substance capable of absorbing light and transferring the energy to the desired reactants.

Alopecia areata is a hair-loss condition which usually affects the scalp. Alopecia areata causes one or
more patches of hair loss. Alopecia areata affects both genders. It is an autoimmune disorder, in which
the immune system attacks hair follicles, is believed to cause alopecia areata.

Hypotrichosis (hypo- + tricho- + -osis) is a condition of abnormal hair patterns, predominantly loss or
reduction. It occurs, most frequently, by the growth of vellus hair in areas of the body that normally
produce terminal hair.

achromotrichia (uncountable) The absence (or loss) of pigmentation in the hair.

Leukoderma is the name given to white patches on the skin. These patches are due to the partial or
total loss of skin pigmentation. There are many causes of leukoderma.

Cause: leukotrichia occurs commonly as post-inflammatory change, eg from branding or in saddles areas
due to ill fitting equipment. In horses carrying the G allele color is present at birth but increasing number
of white hairs develop with age,

Vitiligo is a disease in which the pigment cells of the skin, melanocytes, are destroyed in certain areas.
Symptoms and signs of vitiligo include loss of skin color in the form of depigmented, or white, patches
of skin in any location on the body.

Seborrheic (seb-o-REE-ik) dermatitis is a common skin condition that mainly affects your scalp. It causes
scaly patches, red skin and stubborn dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis can also affect oily areas of the
body, such as the face, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids and chest.

Folliculitis is a common skin condition in which hair follicles become inflamed. It's usually caused by a
bacterial or fungal infection. At first it may look like small red bumps or white-headed pimples around
hair follicles — the tiny pockets from which each hair grows.

organs.
Melanoma in grey horses is an often benign neoplasm (cancer) of melanocytes (pigment cells)
that is usually found in the skin, although it can be found in other organs. 3It is one of the most
prevalent neoplasias seen, and it is described to be nearly ubiquitous in 8 to 10 year old

Cutaneous Angiomatosis In young horses, cutaneous capillary-type hemangiomas

characterized by scattered, well-demarcated but nonencapsulated lobules have been described.

for diagnosis.

Histiocytoma in Dogs. A histiocytoma is a benign skin tumor that originates in the Langerhans

with the outer environment -- the nose, stomach, intestines and lungs, but mainly the skin's
surface. These cells are also referred to as ...

observed microscopically.
A lipoma is a benign tumor made of fat tissue. They are generally soft to the touch, movable,
and painless. They usually occur just under the skin but occasionally may be deeper. Most are
