Abstract

A 5-day-old male Holstein calf was presented with a proliferative mass under the right eye. A solid multilobulated gray lesion (5 cm × 3 cm) was removed surgically. Histopathological findings were characterized by multiple nests of cells, resembled abortive hair follicles. A diagnosis of trichoepithelioma was made. This is considered to be the first report of trichoepithelioma in a neonatal calf.
