Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old neutered female Doberman Pinscher was brought to the vet because she had many itchy, non-pigmented lumps forming a plaque on her lower back. These skin growths were causing her discomfort, and the vet evaluated her condition. This case is notable as it is the first documented instance of this type of skin plaque in a dog with a long head shape in Brazil. Treatment details weren't specified, but addressing the itching and monitoring the skin condition would be typical next steps.

Abstract
An 8-yr old, neutered female Doberman Pinscher was presented for dermatological evaluation due to numerous pruritic, non-pigmented nodules that created a plaque in the lumbo-sacral region. This report is the first published photographic record of an acrochordonous plaque in a dolichocephalic dog and is the first reported case in Brazil.
