The donkey is liable to several cutaneous tumours including (in order of prevalence):

  1. Sarcoid
  2. Squamous cell carcinoma
  3. Fibroma / Fibrosarcoma
  4. Melanoma

Other skin tumours do occur from time to time, but they are all rare and occur sporadically. There is correspondingly little established about the treatment options and their relative prognosis.
