Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old mixed-breed dog was diagnosed with sterile pyogranuloma syndrome, which caused painful skin lesions that wouldn't heal. The veterinarian treated the dog with immunosuppressive therapy to help manage the immune response and used a special technique called seed skin grafting to repair the skin. This combination of treatments successfully improved the dog's condition, allowing the skin to heal properly.

Abstract
This report describes a case of sterile pyogranuloma syndrome managed with immunomodulatory therapy and seed skin grafting. Seed skin grafting can be considered as part of a multimodal treatment approach for cutaneous defects caused by ulcerative immune-mediated diseases where secondary intention healing is delayed or contraindicated, and other forms of wound reconstruction may be prohibitive.
