Three horses with superficial ulcerative squamous cell carcinoma were successfully treated with topical 5‐fluorouracil. Two of them remain in remission after a single course of treatment and the third case is controlled by the application of the cream for seven days every six weeks. No systemic side‐effects were observed but there was a localised inflammatory reaction in the skin in each case.
