Abstract EN
A 3.5-year-old wild born cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), living in a large enclosure on a private Namibian farm, developed a large exophytic nodular neoplasm in its skin at the height of the left shoulder blade.
We describe the clinical appearance, the surgical removal, and histological examination of the tumor, which was diagnosed as a moderately pigmented benign basal cell tumor.
A three-year follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence after the surgery.
Although neoplasia is reported in nondomestic felids, only very few concern cheetahs.
So far, no case of basal cell tumor was described in this species.
