Disease Description: A tumor composed of certain skin tissue cells (i.e., histiocytes).

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: These small growths usually occur singly on the head, limbs or ears, most often in dogs who are less than 2 years of age. These growths won't trouble your dog unless they are itchy.

Disease Cause: -

Disease Diagnose: The tumours are small (less than 3 cm), domed or flat, red, and may be ulcerated. They may or may not be itchy. Definitive diagnosis is by histopathologic examination of the tumour after removal. It is important to differentiate histiocytoma from other histiocytic diseases.

Treat Method: Surgery or cryosurgery (freezing) can be used to remove the tumour. Most of these tumours will disappear on their own after a few months.
