A 3-year-old intact male African pygmy hedgehog was presented at the Teaching Hospital
of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Belgrade, with a growth on the left side of its
abdomen. After clinical examination, the mass was surgically removed, and histopathological findings
indicated a nerve sheath tumor. The hedgehog fully recovered after surgery and was euthanized eight
months later due to the appearance of multicentric changes in the internal organs. Further necropsy
and macroscopic, cytologic, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical findings revealed that the
tumor was a multicentric high-grade T-cell lymphoma. This is an unusual case of an African pygmy
hedgehog with two different neoplasms−a nerve sheath tumor followed by lymphoma.
