Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old male Siberian Husky was brought in with unusual skin lesions on his back, which looked like two openings in the skin. After examining him, the veterinarian found that these lesions were caused by a dermoid sinus, a type of cyst that can connect to the spine. The vet performed surgery to remove the cysts, which were filled with debris and hair. Following the procedure, the dog recovered well and the skin lesions were resolved.
