Plain-English summary
An American cocker spaniel was brought in because of a lump and a draining tract between its eyes. After some imaging tests and surgery, the vet found that the tract was connected to the dog's frontal sinus and brain covering. The diagnosis was a dermoid sinus, which is an abnormal skin growth. The dog received treatment through surgical removal of the mass, which helped resolve the issue.

Abstract
An American cocker spaniel was presented for a subcutaneous mass and draining tract located between its eyes. Contrast radiography and surgical excision showed communication of the tract with the left frontal sinus and rostral cerebral dura, respectively. A dermoid sinus was diagnosed by a combination of gross and histologic findings.
