Abstrakt: An 8-year-old mare mule was presented with a facial mass and history of anorexia, unilateral epistaxis and purulent nasal discharge. The facial mass was encountered from the ventral to the lateral right canthus of the eye up to the facial crest. Thoracic ultrasonography showed five rounded masses. A standing CT under sedation was performed revealing a huge extension and infiltration on surrounding tissues. Due to the extension, type of lesions, outcome and suspicion of metastasis, the owner chose to euthanize the patient. Necropsy confirmed the presence of tumoral lesions spread into the lungs, spleen, adrenal glands, ovary, oral cavity, and right frontal sinus. The microscopic examination was consistent with hemangiosarcoma. Hence, hemangiosarcoma is a differential diagnosis to rule out  in future similar cases. This clinical description did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
