Plain-English summary
An 18-month-old male Doberman Pinscher was brought to the vet with a red, raised lump on his right front leg. After testing the lump, the vet diagnosed it as cutaneous lymphoma, a type of skin cancer that affects T cells. The dog underwent surgery to remove the mass, and thankfully, there has been no sign of the tumor coming back even 18 months later. This case is notable because it’s the first report of this specific type of lymphoma in a young dog.

Abstract
An 18-month-old male Doberman Pinscher was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of the College of Veterinary Medicine for an erythemic nodular mass on the right forelimb. The mass was diagnosed as cutaneous lymphoma, based on cytologic examination of a mass aspirate and histopathology. Using immunohistochemistry, the neoplastic cells were positive for CD3 but negative for CD79a, E-cadherin, and pancytokeratin, confirming their origin as T lymphocytes. No tumor recurrence was noted 18 months after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a solitary nodular form of cutaneous lymphoma in a young dog.
