Abstract
A solitary mass overlying the right carpal joint region's skin in an 1 8-year-old female Pere David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus) was surgica lly excised and histologically diagnosed as a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The tumor was locally infiltrative, showing rather few ''horn p earls'' and many mitotic figures. This is the first report of a cutane ous SCC in the Pere David's deer.
