Resumen

La pitiosis cutánea equina es causada por el oomiceto Pythium insidiosum, el cual generalmente produce lesiones ulcerativas granulomatosas de progresión rápida en las partes distales de las extremidades y del abdomen. Es una enfermedad distribuida globalmente y con mayor prevalencia en regiones tropicales y subtropicales. El objetivo de este reporte de caso fue describir las lesiones granulomatosas, con tejido necrótico y exudado fibrinosanguinolento en la región palpebral del ojo izquierdo ocasionadas por Pythium insidiosum en una yegua cuarto de milla en el estado de Veracruz, México. El diagnóstico se fundamentó en las características clínicas de la lesión y la histopatología. Debido a la extensión de las lesiones, se realizó la resección quirúrgica en combinación con la inmunoterapia. El tratamiento con la inmunoterapia demostró ser una alternativa eficaz para lograr la resolución completa de las lesiones cutáneas.
