ABSTRACT
An 8-year-old neutered male shih tzu dog underwent laparotomy for cystolithectomy. Ten days later, multiple various-sized cystic nodules were observed on the suture line and surrounding abdominal skin, although the surgical incision had healed well. Microscopically, various-sized cysts lined with thin walls of stratified squamous epithelium in the dermis were dilated and filled with keratin. Adnexal differentiation from the wall was not seen. Thus, the abdominal lesions were diagnosed as comedones and epidermal cysts. Herein, we describe the case of a dog with comedones and epidermal cysts on the abdominal skin after a laparotomy. Key clinical message Multiple various-sized cystic lesions of the follicles are described. The implantation of epidermal fragments into the dermis by surgery may induce epidermal cysts and comedones in the skin of hyperadrenocorticism-affected dogs.
Comédons et kystes épidermiques sur la peau abdominale d'un chien survenant après une laparotomie. Un chien shih tzu mâle castré de 8 ans a subi une laparotomie pour cystolithectomie. Dix jours plus tard, de multiples nodules kystiques de différentes tailles ont été observés sur la ligne de suture et sur la peau abdominale environnante, bien que l'incision chirurgicale ait bien cicatrisé. Au microscope, des kystes de différentes tailles bordés de fines parois d'épithélium pavimenteux stratifié dans le derme étaient dilatés et remplis de kératine. Aucune différenciation annexielle par rapport à la paroi n'a été observée. Ainsi, les lésions abdominales ont été diagnostiquées comme des comédons et des kystes épidermiques. Nous décrivons ici le cas d'un chien présentant des comédons et des kystes épidermiques sur la peau abdominale après une laparotomie.Message clinique cléDe multiples lésions kystiques des follicules, de différentes tailles, sont décrites. L'implantation chirurgicale de fragments d'épiderme dans le derme peut provoquer des kystes épidermiques et des comédons dans la peau des chiens atteints d'hypercorticisme.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).
