A seven-year-old castrated male Yorkshire
terrier dog was presented for a recurrent skin disease.Erythematous
skin during the first visit progressed from multiple plaques
to patch lesions and exudative erosion in the oral mucosa
membrane.Biopsy samples were taken from erythematous skin
and were diagnosed with epitheliotropic T cell cutaneous
lymphoma by histopathology and immunochemical stain.In serum
chemistry, the dog had a hypercalcemia (15.7 mg/dl)and mild
increased alkaline phosphatase (417U/l). Immunohistochemistry
was performed to detect parathyroid hormone-related peptide
(PTH-rP)in epitheliotropic cutaneous lymphoma tissues but
the neoplastic cells were not labeled with anti-PTH-rP antibodies.
The patient was treated with prednisolone and isotretinoin.
However, the dog died unexpectedly.
