Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old male neutered Golden Retriever was diagnosed with a rare skin condition called primary localized nodular cutaneous amyloidosis, which caused abnormal protein deposits in his skin. The dog showed signs of skin lumps, which can be concerning for pet owners. Treatment options for this condition are limited, but the dog was monitored closely by his veterinarian.
