To Steve and Suki Crandall: Sorry to have to broadcast results, but you didn't send your email address along with Ruffles' biopsy, and I am notoriously bad at keping addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses around... Anyway, it's good news for all concerned. Letter follows... Best to everyone... June 27, 1995 Dr. Hanan Caine Basking Ridge Animal Hospital 340 S. Finley Ave. Basking Ridge, NJ 07920 Owner: Crandall "Ruffles" Case No. 95-229 Haired skin: Sebaceous epitheliomas, multiple, ferret, mustelid. COMMENT: Sebaceous epithelioma is the most common cutaneous neoplasm of the ferret. These are benign neoplasms composed primarily of basal cells, a percentage of which exhibit sebaceous differentiation. These tumors occasionally occur in multiple sites, and affected animals may develop additional tumors over time. Surgical excision of all neoplasms appears complete; the prognosis is good. Bruce H. Williams, DVM Diplomate American College of Veterinary Pathologists [Posted in FML issue 1239]
