Trichofolliculomas are the most common skin tumor of the guinea pig. These cystic neoplasm contain multiple sets of folliculosebaceous units with project into the central lumen, and there is rudimentary trichogenesis. Surgical excision appears complete and should be curative.

Kidney: Glomus tumor
Glomus tumors are rare, typically benign tumors arising from periendothelial modified smooth muscle cells which form the Sucquet-Hoyer canal, a structure that regulates temperature and blood flow in the subcutis, and are most commonly described in the fingers of women.
Glornus tumors are rarely reported in domestic species. One publication from 1984 described four glomus tumors in adult rhesus monkeys, which had received total body irradiation, however the radiation dose was not specified. 4 While the most common anatomic location in humans are the finger tips, malignant glomus tumors with metastases have been reported, including several humans who had either primary or metastatic renal lesions.
