There are claims of anticancer potentials of the wild Ganoderma sp that is currently undergoing research, however, most of these researches involved in vitro studies using cell lines. Methodology: A female sheep (Balami breed) was observed with cauliflower-like growth and histopathological analysis from skin biopsy revealed that it is Squamous cell carcinoma. Using a paste made from wild Ganoderma sp based jelly (6.7mg/ml), it was applied daily for two consecutive months on the specific growth areas. Results: the tumorous growth was observed to progressively regress following treatment, until completely cured after two months of topical application of the wild Ganoderma sp based paste. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that wild Ganoderma sp paste preparation alone can cure squamous cell carcinoma in sheep and may be a potential novel anticancer agent for veterinary use.
