Summary

Basal cell adenomas are common in dogs and cats but rare in rabbits. This study presents a case of basal cell adenoma in a rabbit, adding to the limited existing literature on this condition in lagomorphs.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Comparative Oncology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Basal cell adenomas (BCAs) are frequently diagnosed in domestic canines and felines.
  • BCAs are notably uncommon in other domestic animal species, including lagomorphs.
  • Existing literature documents only two prior cases of BCAs in rabbits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of basal cell adenoma in a rabbit.
  • To contribute to the limited veterinary literature on BCAs in rabbits.
  • To enhance understanding of BCA occurrence in non-traditional domestic animals.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify previous reports of BCAs in rabbits.
  • Clinical and pathological data from a new case of rabbit BCA were collected and analyzed.
  • Histopathological examination was performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • A single case of basal cell adenoma in a rabbit was identified and documented.
  • The literature search confirmed the rarity of this tumor in rabbits, with only two previous reports.
  • The presented case aligns with the general characteristics of BCAs observed in other species.

Conclusions:

  • Basal cell adenomas, while common in dogs and cats, represent a rare neoplastic condition in rabbits.
  • This case report underscores the importance of considering BCAs in the differential diagnosis of skin tumors in rabbits.
  • Further research and case reporting are needed to fully elucidate the epidemiology and clinical behavior of BCAs in lagomorphs.
