Plain-English summary
A male Finnish Lapphund had widespread bumps on his skin, which were found to be caused by a condition called cutaneous sarcoidosis. Despite various tests to find a specific cause, nothing was identified. The good news is that the dog responded well to treatment with oral oclacitinib, leading to remission of the skin lesions.

Abstract
A male Finnish Lapphund presented with widespread papular skin lesions, which were diagnosed as cutaneous sarcoidosis based on histopathological results. Multiple diagnostic techniques, including bacterial and fungal culture, special staining, electron microscopy and in situ hybridisation, failed to identify a specific causative agent. Remission was achieved with oral oclacitinib.
