Multicentric basal cell tumors in a cat.
Four basal cell tumors were diagnosed in an adult spayed female domestic longhair cat. Surgical excision was curative. Basal cell tumors in cats usually are solitary, slow growing, benign epithelial neoplasms. The multicentric nature of these neoplasms in this patient was uncharacteristic of typical basal cell tumors in cats.
