Cutaneous neoplasms are the most frequently found and diagnosed in small animals, accounting for about 30% of tumors in dogs with about 70-80% benignity in this species. Lipoma, on the other hand, is considered a benign common mesenchymal neoplasms originating from adipocytes or fat cells subcutaneous and occasionally dermal. Its diagnosis is made through the observation of clinical signs and complementary tests (blood count, serum biochemistry, imaging tests, and cytopathological and histopathological examinations). Surgical treatment through tumor excision is a treatment of choice and may be associated with adjuvant radiotherapy if excision is incomplete. The prognosis for this type of neoplasia can be considered favorable for the well circumscribed lipomas, being reserved for the infiltrative tumors since the percentage of relapses is high and can cause the destruction of adjacent tissues. Based on this, the objective of this study is to report the clinical case of a female canine, 10 years old, 5.1 kg, Pinscher affected by a lipoma located in the left cervical region covering the peri-auricular region of the same antimer attended at the University Veterinary Hospital of the University Federal University of Piauí.
