Of all the skin tumors, fibromas present very frequent skin neoplasms in different species of wild game of the family Cervidae are caused by papillomaviruses. In this article, a several case of roe deer multiple fibromas – fibromatosis from the province of Vojvodina (Serbia) is presented. In this study, tumor samples of a roe deer were macroscopically and histologically examined, whose autopsies was performed at the Department of Pathological Morphology of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine of Serbia. By macroscopic examination, it was determined 26 clearly limited neoplasms, grey-black in color, firm consistency, covered with skin without hair. Tumors were localized over the entire body, with the largest number of determined tumors in the head and extremities. On histopathological examination the stroma was determined which consisted of a number of interlaced collagen fibers and fibroblasts with spindle-shaped, square and star-shapes of sails. The epidermis that covers the tumor mass, show signs of acanthosis and hyperkeratosis. The diagnosed tumor of the roe deer had the histological characteristics of a polimorphous fibroblasts, which is not the case with domestic animals. This finding can be considered as a characteristic of fibromas for animals of the family Cervidae. This is the second case of fibromatosis in our experience, and we can conclude that it is necessary to conduct an extensive examination to obtain data about disease in our hunting grounds in Serbia.
