Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old golden retriever was brought in with a skin lesion on its neck that had a small opening and was causing some discomfort. The veterinarian performed surgery and found a cyst connected to the dog's spine, which is known as a dermoid sinus. After the cyst was removed, the dog recovered well and no longer showed signs of discomfort.
