Abstract
Follicular cysts and infundibular keratinizing acanthomas are common benign cutaneous lesions in dogs. Current treatment options include surgical excision under general anaesthesia, cryotherapy, carbon dioxide laser and retinoids, each with potential disadvantages. We describe a conscious, minimally invasive, surgical excision procedure with high success rate and no complications in five dogs.
