A 1-year-old female hedgehog was presented with subcutaneous mass in the right forelimb. Grossly, anelevated subcutaneous mass approximately 4 cm in diameter was located in forelimb. Central dark brown area wassurrounded by peripheral milky white zone in the cut surface of mass. Histopathologically, numerous neoplastic cellsformed irregular cords or sheets in dermis. Most of neoplastic cells showed palisading features to basement membranewith or without central caseous necrosis. These neoplastic cells showed invasive tendency to adjacent tissues. Accordingto immunohistochemistry, the neoplastic cells demonstrated strong positive signals for pancytokeratin, and negativefor vimentin. Based on the gross, histopathology and immunohistochemistry, this mass was diagnosed as basal cellcarcinoma in a hedgehog.
