Abstract

Tumour like swellings on the ventral aspect of the neck were observed in 6 donkeys presented to the Clinic of College of Veterinary Medicine. These swellings were suspected to be of neoplastic nature. Later on histopathological studies revealed that the lesions may be related to chronic form of cutaneous habronemiasia. The histopathology of the lesions were described and discussed. Surgical treatment was also performed.
