TLDR The skin lesion was diagnosed as a matrical cyst with unusual features.
A skin lesion from a 10-year-old male Samoyedo was examined and found to be a unilocular cyst with unusual features, including large squamous-like cells and trichilemmal keratin. Differential diagnoses considered were acantholytic squamous cell carcinoma, isthmus cyst, matrical cyst, and pilomatricoma. The diagnosis of matrical cyst was established, despite atypical features such as the predominance of large squamous cells instead of basaloid cells. The lesion did not fit precisely into any known category of follicular cysts or neoplasms.
