Wild animal tumours have not been much studied yet. Authors found six mostly benign cases in Czech Republic in checking hunts between the years 1988 and 1993: Mature differentiated ovarian teratoma and apocrine skin adenoma in field hare, intraductal mammary papillomatosis in a roe, complex odontoma and pleomorphic mammary carcinoma (single malignancy in the group) in fox. A soft tissue tumour in a fallow-buck's neck could not be histogenetically classified. A high structural equivalence of animal and human tumours allows using ICD-O classification as a whole.
