Skin tumours in guinea pigs

Guinea pigs can be affected by a variety of skin tumours. Some of these are benign (generally harmless) and some can be malignant (cancerous). It is often not possible to diagnose what type a tumour is by looking at it and further diagnostics are often required to decide upon a diagnosis and treatment plan.
