We describe the pathology in a captive adult White lipped treefrog ( Litoria infrafrenata ) with a squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and a free‐living adult Common green treefrog ( L caerulea ) with an adenocarcinoma of the skin. Although many amphibian neoplasms have been reported world wide, none had been described in Australian species.
