Neoplasia is uncommon, but is an important differential diagnosis of chronic respiratory disease, especially in the elderly donkey. Clinical signs are vague and consist of '''dypnoea, [[Dull Donkey|dullness]] and persistent pyrexia''', and there may be  '''hyperglobulinaemia, hypoalbuminaemia and anaemia'''.

−
Tumours found include '''primary lung neoplasias''' and those caused by metastatic spread. ''Ante-mortem ''diagnosis is difficult,
 
−
and requires a combination of radiography, ultrasonography, thoracocentesis and lung biopsy. The stress of such procedures
 
−
should be weighed against the likely benefit to the [[Geriatric Donkey|geriatric donkey]].
