The lesions of the penis and prepuce of the horse can be originated by trauma, bacterial or parasitic infeccions, and mostly neoplasms, causing productive and reproductive losses. For this study, several cases of proliferative lesions in the penis and prepuce of horses from the archives of the Laboratório Regional de Diagnóstico (LRD) of the Faculdade de Veterinária da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel) were reviewed, and penial lesions were obtained from a equine slaughterhouse located in the municipality of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The materials were classified and macroscopic and histological aspects were evaluated. The samples were categoryzed as neoplastic and non-neoplastic and informations about the age, breed, and origin of the horses and anatomic location of the lesions were noted. Nineteen cases were obtained from the LRD-UFPel archives and 18 cases were obtained from the slaughterhouse. The lesions from the LRD were predominantely neoplastic - mostly squamous cells carcinoma, located more frequently in the prepuce of adult animals. Most of these horses were from the municipality of Pelotas, RS, Brazil. The samples collected from the slaughterhouse were predominately located in the prepuce of adult or old, gray, mixed breed horses. The lesions of these horses were predominantely non-neoplastic, mostly parasitic balanoposthitis caused by myiasis. These horses were from varied regions, including several Brazilian states.
