SummarySino‐nasal neoplasia is rare in horses, and most reports are limited to small numbers of cases, making it challenging to draw firm conclusions from the available literature. Exploring data from other species often assists the equine practitioner to better understand rare diseases in horses, but there are limited data about sino‐nasal lymphoma in other species. The association with human herpes virus 4 (Epstein–Barr virus) in all reported cases of sino‐nasal T‐cell lymphoma in humans is especially interesting, but the rarity of this tumour in horses makes such an association with equine herpes virus extremely challenging to investigate.
