Summary:Twelve mastomys (Mastomys natalensis) about two years old developed several raised, varying sized, multiple scurfy growths on most of the external parts of the body over a period of two months.

Histological examination of the cutaneous lesions revealed that the growths were comprised of intracutaneous cornifying epitheliomas.
