A four-year-old neutered male Saint Bernard dog presented with a 2 year history of nasal philtrum ulceration and recent recurrent arterial hemorrhage from this region. Dermal arteritis of the nasal philtrum was diagnosed and the patient was started on immunosuppressive medications. Clinical signs continued to recur until surgical resection of the lesions was performed. Dermal arteritis of the nasal philtrum is a rare phenomenon but should be considered in certain breeds. Surgical removal of affected tissue should be considered when medical treatment fails. Long-term management with cyclosporine was initiated which has not been previously described in the literature.
一只4岁已绝育的雄性圣伯纳犬，有2年鼻唇溃疡病史，近期该部位反复出现动脉出血。诊断为鼻唇皮肤动脉炎，患者开始使用免疫抑制药物治疗。临床症状持续复发，直到对病变进行手术切除。鼻唇皮肤动脉炎是一种罕见的现象，但在某些品种中应予以考虑。当药物治疗失败时，应考虑手术切除受影响的组织。开始使用环孢素进行长期治疗，这在以前的文献中尚未有描述。
