Plain-English summary
A 13-year-old male mixed-breed dog was brought to the vet because of multiple lumps around his anus. The vet diagnosed these lumps as perianal gland adenomas, which are benign tumors. The dog was treated with cyclosporine, a medication that helps reduce inflammation and growths, for five weeks. After treatment, the lumps shrank significantly, and the dog's condition has remained stable for six months.

Abstract
A 13-year-old, intact male, mixed-breed dog was evaluated for multiple intradermal nodules around the anus. The nodules were diagnosed as perianal gland adenoma based on histopathologic examination. After therapy with cyclosporin A for 5 wk, the perianal masses were moderately shrunken. The dog's condition has remained stable over 6 mo.
