A female 7 years old Labrador retriever was attended with a severe dermatological disease. The dog was treated with cephalexin (25 mg/kg/12 h/10 days), chlorhexidine shampoo and nutraceuticals (Omega 3, vitamins and minerals), with no clinical improvement. The clinical and histopathology results suggested a diagnosis of mycosis fungoides. Accordingly, treatment schedule was changed, but the dog did not show any clinical remission after several days under treatment and died. Immunohistochemistry evidenced a severe infiltration of CD3 T-cells collected around the basal squamous epithelia. Immunohistochemistry results confirmed the first mycosis fungoides case report in Colombia. Clinical findings and the most relevant treatment schedules are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
