It is not pretty, but it is what it is. A large melanoma that had spread from the sheath of a horse to the penis. Both structures were surgically removed (a penile amputation was performed) but the melanoma had already spread to internal organs. Note the very black appearance of the tumor, which is characteristic of melanomas.

Melanoma tumor in the sheath of a grey horse.

I once dated a woman who collected books and photos of necropsy material. Of course she also liked to bury monkey skulls in ant hills till they were clean and hang them from strings in her kitchen window. For some reason it all seemed perfectly normal at the time. I remember one particular book from France with pictures that literally made me vomit. I do believe this particular melanoma shot is pretty close to ghastly.
ReplyDeleteBen,
ReplyDeleteThe disease it's self is ghastly. I didn't post any of the really bad ones, as I assumed this milder one would relay the same message.

Ben,
ReplyDeleteAmazing you didn't have trouble sleeping when you dated her. LOL
