Abstract

An 11-year-old, female Miniature Schnauzer dog was presented with recurrent skin ulcer of the second metatarsal region in the right hindlimb following metatarsal resection. Physical examination revealed an ulcerated and bleeding lesion of the second metatarsal region in the right hindlimb. Impression smears of the ulcerative lesion confirmed numerous degenerated neutrophils and mixed bacterial infection. Initially, the dog was treated with antibiotics and povidone-iodine flushing for the control of deep pyoderma. Because the skin lesion had been deteriorated over time despite of topical and systemic treatments, skin biopsy was performed. Histopathologic examination indicated squamous cell carcinoma based on the features of multiple nests of squamous neoplastic cells and mitotic figures. Although amputation of the right hindlimb was performed, the dog was expired five months later because of tumor metastasis to the lung and the popliteal lymph node. This is the first case report describes malignant digital squamous cell carcinoma in Korea.
