Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old Siberian husky was brought in for a swollen nodule on its eyelid. This condition, known as eosinophilic granuloma, is a rare skin issue that can occur in dogs. The veterinarian treated the husky with oral glucocorticoids, which successfully cleared the lesion. The dog made a full recovery and no longer showed any signs of the skin problem.

Abstract
Canine eosinophilic granuloma (CEG) is a rare skin disease of unknown origin. It has been reported in Siberian huskies, Cavalier King Charles spaniels and occasionally in other breeds. The lesions comprise nodules or plaques, mostly localised in the oral cavity. A case of a single cutaneous nodular lesion of CEG on the eyelid of a Siberian husky is described. Complete remission was achieved with oral glucocorticoid treatment.
