Simple Summary: Neoplasm registries are not a common feature of veterinary oncology practice in Africa. Therefore, this study was conducted by obtaining data for specific breeds, age groups or gender with regards to neoplasm occurrence in Nigeria for 17 years (2000–2017). The institutions included in the study were Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta; Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi; Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike; University of Abuja; University of Ibadan; University of Nigeria, Nsukka; and Usmanu Dan Fodio University, Sokoto. The highest prevalence was reported in the avian species, with Marek's disease the most prevalently diagnosed neoplastic disease. Females were more affected compared to males, and tumours from the digestive location prevailed. Little emphasis is given to the appropriate diagnosis and recording of neoplastic cases, therefore, an estimation of the neoplastic cases noted in VTHs in Nigeria was done. In addition to the use of mapping tools, the distribution and the prevalence of specific neoplasms, in different geographical zones of Nigeria, were presented. This study will be beneficial to veterinary clinicians, pathologists and epidemiologists and could form a foundation for subsequent work in veterinary oncology and epidemiology in Nigeria and Africa. Incidence data from 17-year veterinary neoplasm surveillance and registration were reviewed. Most of the neoplastic cases diagnosed in Nigerian veterinary teaching hospitals (VTHs) were in the avian (49%) and canine species (44%). Fewer cases were recorded in the equine (3.2%), bovine (2.4%), ovine (1.5%), caprine (0.3%) and porcine (0.15%) species. Marek's disease was the most prevalently diagnosed neoplastic disease of domestic animals in Nigerian VTHs from 2000–2017. Also, the Nigerian local breed had a higher mean distribution than any other dog breed and this was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Nearly all of the neoplastic cases diagnosed, were found in females (60.4%) and so the mean distribution of sex was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The digestive system, with 296 (46.25%) cases, was the anatomic location where the majority of the neoplastic cases were found. However, the mean distribution of different neoplastic anatomic sites was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). In conclusion, little emphasis is given to the appropriate diagnosis and recording of neoplastic cases that are diagnosed. The study provides information regarding the prevalence and distribution of tumours in different animal species consulted in Nigeria veterinary teaching hospitals. To illustrate all of this, ArcGIS software was used. Veterinary clinicians, pathologists and epidemiologists from Nigeria may benefit from the results of this study by freely accessing some specific data regarding the breed, the age group or the gender of some animal species diagnosed with different tumours.
