Abstract

The gross and microscopic pathology of a neoplastic skin lesion from the chest of a wild adult eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) was consistent with the diagnosis of a trichoepithelioma. This was a benign lesion of the epithelial cells of the hair follicle and is the second type of skin neoplasm reported from macropodids.
