Résumé

Cutaneous papillomatosis is a contagious neoplastic viral disease of animals characterized by the presence of multiple skin tumours or growths, principally on the head part. Although they regress spontaneously, the furtherance to the malignant form may necessitate culling or slaughtering of the animal which is problematic and of economic significance. The gross features of this condition were described in West African dwarf (WAD) goats and compared with those of cattle.
