Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old Cocker Spaniel was diagnosed with a sebaceous gland tumor in the left lung after showing no signs of a primary tumor elsewhere in the body. This type of tumor is unusual in dogs, especially as a primary lung issue. The dog’s condition highlights the importance of thorough examinations when unusual tumors are found. Treatment options would typically depend on the specific case, but surgery or other therapies might be considered based on the veterinarian's assessment.

Abstract
Skin neoplasia in dogs and cats is a common finding in practice and can include sebaceous gland tumours such as adenocarcinoma and adenoma. This report describes a 10-year-old Cocker Spaniel presenting with a sebaceous gland neoplasia in the caudal left lung lobe, with no evidence of a primary tumour. To the authors' knowledge, sebaceous gland neoplasia has never been reported as a primary tumour in the lungs of a dog.
