Abstract

ABSTRACT. Veterinary Oncology has been in great demand, especially for the increase in the longevity of dogs and the greater occurrence of neoplasias in elderly animals. A bitch, without breed, was treated for 8 years, presenting an ulcerated tumor mass in the frontal region of the head. The patient underwent preoperative exams. Then, the tumor is excised with a large margin of safety. Histopathological examination of the collected tumor fragments was performed, diagnosing it as basal cell carcinoma.
