BACKGROUND
Follicular lipidosis is a rare disease, having only been reported in six Rottweiler dogs. The diagnosis of follicular lipidosis is confirmed by histopathological examination of the affected skin.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of follicular lipidosis in a dachshund dog.
ANIMALS
A 13-month-old female dachshund dog, with hypotrichosis on the head and cervical region from 10 months of age.
METHODS
Histological examination of skin biopsy specimens.
RESULTS
Histological examination revealed basket weave orthokeratosis, ballooning of matrix cells and external root sheath keratinocytes.
CLINICAL IMPORTANCE
This case report highlights the importance of including follicular lipidosis among the differential diagnoses of noninflammatory and nonhormonal cutaneous lesions in dachshund presented with hair loss.
