Abstract

Between November 2002 and: September 2006, five types of goat neoplasms including melanoma (one case), fibroma (one case), squamous cell carcinoma (one case), fibromatous epulis (three cases) and squamous papillomas (two cases)- were recorded. All neoplasms were reported in the head and udder regions. Adult female goats with pre- dominantly white coat were found to be the most suscepitable animals. All data about case history, clinical examination, surgical management and histopathological examination were discussed.
