Original publication title: Multifocal giant apocrine cystadenomas in a miniature poodle
- Species:
- dog
Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old miniature poodle was brought in with several large, fluid-filled lumps on its right back leg and chest. The veterinarian found that these lumps were caused by apocrine cystadenomas, which are unusual skin tumors in dogs. After examining the lumps under a microscope, the vet confirmed the diagnosis. While the abstract does not specify treatment details, it's important for pet owners to discuss options with their veterinarian if they notice similar symptoms in their pets.

Abstract
Apocrine cystadenomas have rarely been reported in dogs. Herein, a dog with multiple, large (1.0–7.0 cm) fluctuant and cystic skin masses on the right pelvic limb and chest is described. Histopathological evaluation revealed cystic cavities lined by single to multiple layers of apocrine epithelium with papillary projections, consistent with apocrine cystadenoma.
