Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old Catalan shepherd mix developed multiple squamous cell carcinomas (a type of skin cancer) from several follicular cysts on its skin. Unfortunately, despite monitoring for 29 months, the dog passed away, and the cancer had spread to its lungs and bones in the left front paw. This case highlights the importance of regular veterinary check-ups for skin lumps or cysts, as they can sometimes lead to more serious health issues.
