Lameness involving foot and leg is a common problem in all classes of cattle. About 90% of incidence of lameness involves foot (Gogoi et al., 1981), and are caused by laminitis, interdigital growths, claw disease, digital dermatitis and foot rot. Interdigital growths are generally less frequently observed in bovines. Various types of interdigital growths reported are interdigital hyperplasia, papillomas and fibromas. Eosinophilic granuloma is considered to be a cutaneous reaction pattern that can be the manifestation of allergies or ectoparasite infestations (Mason and Evans, 1991). It is recorded in feline on the face, ears and feet as nodules with or without ulceration (White, 2003). The present paper describes surgical management of specific interdigital growths due to eosinophilic granulomas in cattle. In felines this disease was found to be associated with mosquito bites (Mason and Evans, 1991). Interdigital eosinophilic granulomas in cattle could also be due to the similar causes.
