Abstract
An adult female huemul (Hippocamelus bisculcus), captured in Bernardo O Higgins National Park, Chile, had melanic lesions on a large part of her body. After a histological analysis, these lesions were diagnosed as Fibroma. This is a common pathology for several deers of the world. However, we report the first medical study for the huemul deer.
