Abstract
A 10-year-old female collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu) was referred due to a large palpable mass in caudal abdomen. Physical examination revealed a firm and freely moveable mass (15 × 9 cm) in the right side of caudal abdomen. Thoracic radiographic findings revealed a few well circumscribed nodules. This case was diagnosed as mammary gland squamous cell carcinoma with pulmonary metastasis based on histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. This type of mammary gland tumors is uncommon in wild animals. The patient survived for one month after the diagnosis. This is the first case report of mammary squamous cell carcinoma in a collard peccary and the second case report of metastatic carcinoma to lung in a collared peccary.
