Article Abstract
A heifer and a dairy cow were presented to our practice with cutaneous masses on the left side of their necks. Each mass had a diameter of approximately 20 cm. Both tumors had increased in size in recent weeks and were now prone to injuries from the stable equipment. Both animal owners agreed to surgical removal, which was performed under sedation and local anesthesia on a bovine treatment crush. The subsequent histopathological examinations of the extirpates revealed a melanocytoma in the young heifer and a cutaneous peripheral nerve sheath tumor (PNST) in the dairy cow. Both cases were benign tumors. The postoperative course was without complications and no recurrences were observed even more than a year later. No comparable tumors were found in related animals or in the offspring.
