Five donkeys, ranging in age from 2 to 4 years, were presented with swellings in the chin and neck areas. In all cases, these swellings had been present at birth, were soft and fluctuant, and did not appear painful. Needle aspiration revealed the presence of black-, brown-, and/or gray-colored fluid, and surgical excision was recommended. The masses removed were clay-like with a separate tuft of hair. All were benign. Surgical excision, therefore, is recommended for cosmetic purposes only.
