Abdominocentesis, gastric rupture sample, horse

Peritoneal fluid sample obtained from a horse with gastric rupture secondary to a persimmon impaction in the duodenum. The appearance of this sample is not specific; enterocentesis must be ruled out by cytological evaluation or by gross examination of a second sample obtained from a location remote to the first.
