Abstract
A rare report of papillary adenoma in the trachea of a free-ranging wild boar
has been reported in the article. In the case, except for the growth in the
trachea, there were no other significant lesions observed in the carcass.
Grossly, the adenoma was granular and microscopically, it comprised finger like
projections with the features of hyperplastic glandular epithelium and increased
mitotic figures. This case is first of its kind and also its occurrence is
negligible in other animals. Few cases have been reported in the humans with the
history of excessive smoking. Although, adenomas of other organs are common in
pigs. However, authors are unaware of previous reports of such case in the
animals.
