A 3.5-year-old wild born cheetah (), living in a large enclosure on a private Namibian farm, developed a large exophytic nodular neoplasm in its skin at the height of the left shoulder blade. We describe the clinical appearance, the surgical removal, and histological examination of the tumor, which was diagnosed as a moderately pigmented benign basal cell tumor. A three-year follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence after the surgery. Although neoplasia is reported in nondomestic felids, only very few concern cheetahs. So far, no case of basal cell tumor was described in this species.
一只3.5岁的野生猎豹（）生活在纳米比亚一个私人农场的大围栏里，在左肩胛骨高度的皮肤上长出了一个大的外生性结节状肿瘤。我们描述了该肿瘤的临床表现、手术切除及组织学检查情况，其被诊断为中度色素沉着的良性基底细胞瘤。三年随访显示手术后无复发迹象。虽然非家养猫科动物有肿瘤形成的报道，但涉及猎豹的情况极少。到目前为止，该物种尚未有基底细胞瘤的病例描述。
