A 4-month-old female thoroughbred foal was presented with large mass on mandibular gingiva. The enlargedmass was firm and yellowish pink in color, and occupied the whole mandibular arcade. The filly could not closeher mouth with her lips. Radiographs showed radioopaque mass under the mandible. The mass was surgically excisedfrom mandible. Histopathologically, gingival mass was characterized by hyperplastic gingival epithelium, wellvascularized collagenous stroma and large area of bony tissues. Based on the gross and histopathologic findings, thiscase was diagnosed as ossifying epulis in the mandibular gingiva. This is the first report of ossifying epulis in athoroughbred horse in Korea.
