Abstract

A rabbit was presented with presence of mass on the abdomen region since last five months. On examination, the mass was soft, circular, sessile and found to be attached on the left ventral aspect of abdomen. Hence, surgical excision was decided to perform. Hematological parameters were pre-surgically evaluated. Xylazine and Ketamine combination was used through intramuscular route for induction of anesthesia. En-block resection of the growth was performed and the tumor sample was sent for histopathology which revealed benign lipoblastoma. Animal was back to regular activity without any complications.
