Abstract
Background: Statistics for the actual incidence of neoplasia in pet ferrets are not currently available; however, multiple case reports of different types of neoplasia in this species are described in the literature. The majority of tumours are seen in animals older than three years of age, and multiple types of neoplasia can occur in the same ferret.Aim of the article: This article provides an overview of the most common ferret neoplasms seen by general veterinary practitioners, and aims to help practitioners approach these cases with more confidence. The endocrine, haemolymphatic and integumentary systems are most commonly affected, with adrenocortical tumours and insulinoma at the top of the list.
