Dogs can develop a variety of skin tumors, both malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous). Some common types include？

1. Mast Cell Tumors (MCTs):** These are the most common skin tumors in dogs. They can appear anywhere on the body, and can vary widely in appearance. 
2. Lipomas:** These are benign fat tumors commonly found in middle-aged to older dogs, particularly overweight females. They typically appear as soft, movable lumps under the skin.
3. Melanomas:** These tumors are often dark in color due to the pigment melanin, but not always. They can be benign if they occur on areas of the body like the skin, but are often malignant when they appear in the mouth or on a nail bed.
4. Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCCs):** These are often associated with sun exposure and appear as crusty or warty growths.
5. Histiocytomas:** These are benign tumors that often occur in younger dogs. They usually appear as small, red, raised lumps.
6. Sebaceous Adenomas:** These are benign tumors of the sebaceous glands in the skin. They often appear as small, wart-like growths.
7. Hemangiosarcomas:** These are malignant tumors that originate from blood vessels. They can appear as red or black growths on the skin, often raised.

The symptoms of skin tumors in dogs can vary widely depending on the type and location of the tumor. Common signs can include:

– A lump or bump on the skin that is growing or changing in appearance
– An area of skin that is red, swollen, or inflamed
– A sore or lesion that does not heal
– Changes in color or texture of the skin or coat
– Itching, scratching, or excessive grooming of a specific area
– Loss of appetite, lethargy, or other behavioral changes (more common with malignant tumors)
