The present investigation was carried out to study the histopathology of spontaneously occurring canine skin tumours. A total of 61 grossly suspected cases of spontaneously occurring canine cutaneous tumours were collected from different places. On histopathological examination, 58 cases were diagnosed as neoplasms. Among them, 30 (51.72%) were benign and 28 (47.28%) malignant. The females had higher incidence (32; 55.17%) than males (26; 44.83%). Benign tumours were recorded at an average age of 7.44 years which was higher than for malignant tumours (6.72 years). Benign tumours encountered were canine cutaneous histiocytoma (11), cavernous hemangioma (3), mast cell tumour (3), perianal gland adenoma (6), fibroma (5) and fibromyxoma (2). The malignant skin tumours were basal cell carcinoma (10), squamous cell carcinoma (5), fibrosarcoma (4), myxosarcoma (2), perianal gland adenocarcinoma (3), epidermoid carcinoma (1), liposarcoma (1), sebaceous basal cell carcinoma (1) and sebaceous gland adenocarcinoma (1).
