Abstract

A 3.2-year-old male pet Guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) was presented with a rapidly growing mass in the right cervical region behind the ear. Following a complete clinical evaluation, the unusual mass was surgically removed. Based on the histopathological features, the tumour mass was diagnosed as a subcutaneous liposarcoma. The Guinea pig was recovered well and no post-operative complications were observed over one year follow-up period.
