Plain-English summary
An 8-month-old mixed breed dog developed multiple firm, doughnut-shaped growths on its belly that were growing quickly. These masses were diagnosed as cutaneous inverted papillomas, which are benign tumors of the skin. While the study reviewed existing information on these types of growths, it did not specify treatment details or outcomes for this particular case. Pet owners should consult their veterinarian if they notice similar growths on their dog.

Abstract
Cutaneous inverted papillomas are described in an 8-month-old mixed breed domestic dog from Windhoek, Namibia. Multiple firm, rapidly growing, doughnut-shaped masses formed on the ventral abdomen, which histologically consisted of a cup-shaped rim of marked epithelial hyperplasia, giant keratohyaline granules and prominent koilocytes and marked hyperkeratosis filling the centre of the mass. Current literature on canine papillomas is briefly reviewed.
