Wart-like growths found on the skin of white-tailed
deer and other members of the deer family are fibromas. They are popularly
referred to as skin tumors, or simply warts. Histopathologists identify skin
tumors from deer as papillomas, fibromas, or papillofibromas depending upon the
predominate type of tissue making up the tumor. Fibromas
are caused by a virus which is thought to be transmitted by various
biting insects. However, another possible means of transmission of the
viral agent is direct contact through any assortment of contaminated
objects which may scratch or penetrate the skin of the deer.
