%X A rare report of papillary adenoma in the trachea of a free-ranging wild boar has been reported in the article. In the case, except for the growth in the trachea, there were no other significant lesions observed in the carcass. Grossly, the adenoma was granular and microscopically, it comprised finger like projections with the features of hyperplastic glandular epithelium and increased mitotic figures. This case is first of its kind and also its occurrence is negligible in other animals. Few cases have been reported in the humans with the history of excessive smoking. Although, adenomas of other organs are common in pigs. However, authors are unaware of previous reports of such case in the animals. [Vet World 2013; 6(3.000): 169-170]
