Multicentric Malignant Tricoepithelioma in a Bhutia Dog and its Management

摘要

Multicentric malignant tricoepithelioma is very rarely reported in dogs and surgical excision was considered curative. A one and half year old non–descript male dog was presented with the history of limping and growth in right forelimb. Excisional biopsy confirmed the malignant tricoepithelioma and it was removed by surgical excision under general anaesthesia. After two months, the tumour reappeared at prepuce region and left digital paw. Since it was multicentric and malignant, cyclophosphamide was given along with surgical excision. No recurrence of tumour was recorded during two years of follow–up
