TLDR A 6-year-old Shih-Tzu had benign skin tumors removed successfully.
The document describes a rare case of benign pilomatricoma in a 6-year-old Shih-Tzu dog, highlighting that these neoplasms, though uncommon, are typically benign and found in areas like the neck, back, and tail. The dog had nodules on its tail, which were surgically removed and confirmed as benign pilomatricoma through histopathological examination. Treatment involved an excisional biopsy with a 2 cm safety margin, and the dog recovered without complications. The study emphasizes that histopathological examination is essential for diagnosing pilomatricomas in dogs.
