With donkeys often being allowed to continue well into old age, it is inevitable that neoplasia should be a common outcome of post-mortem examinations. Intra-abdominal tumours are most common with hepatic
carcinoma, lymphosarcoma, intestinal adenocarcinoma and leiomyomas most likely to be found. Affected animals present with progressive anaemia and there is often an associated secondary [[Hyperlipaemia - Donkey|hyperlipaemia]].
Interestingly the pedunculated lipoma, so beloved of the obese aged pony, would appear relatively uncommon in the donkey. Gastric squamous cell carcinomas and granulosa cell tumours are also relatively uncommon.
