The animal comes from an external conservation center in Colombia. This tiger had a swollen elbow joint at the lateral face of its left forelimb, developed during three months and reaching a 15 cm size. An incisional biopsy was performed in order to make a histopathological diagnosis of the injury. The diagnosis was compatible with a tumor of the pheripheral nerve seneath. The tumor was then surgically extracted. The tiger increased its condition and has not suffered any relapse. This is the first report in Colombia of an exotic feline with such a pathology.esCorporación Universitaria LasallistaFacultad de Ciencias Administrativas y AgropecuariasTigre de bengala (panthera tigris)Tumores (Medicina Veterinaria)Cirugía veterinariaArticle
