| Abstract | ||
| Twenty-two cases of skin tumours were diagnosed (eighteen ewes and four rams). Out of them squamous cell carcinoma of low-grade malignancy was detected in seventeen animals (77.3%) and squamous cell papilloma in five animals (22.7 %). The first type was observed in white body coat ewes aged 5-10 years. They were mostly found at the ventrolateral border of abdomen, fatty tail, back and limbs. The gross and histopathological examinations for each type were de- scribed. Squamous cell papillomas were observed in young animals (1-2 years) at the head region and it was supposed to be precursor of squamous cell carcinoma. | ||
