Abstract
A five year old HF cross cow was presented to Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology with a history of protruded mass in both the hind limbs which were ulcerated and infested with maggots. The condition was diagnosed as bilateral interdigital fibroma (IDF) which was successfully managed by surgical excision under general anaesthesia. The fibroma was excised completely using electrosurgery and bleeding points were cauterized using cryocautery apparatus. Proper skin apposition and claw immobilisation followed by surgical removal lead to uneventful recovery.
