Atrichial sweat gland adenocarcinoma in the dog

Abstract

An atrichial sweat gland adenocarcinoma of the foot pad is extremely rare in the dog and, until now, no cases have been reported in the literature. We report here the clinical and pathological findings of an atrichial sweat gland carcinoma of the foot pad in a 6‐year‐old male German Shepherd. The tumour infiltrated the subcutis, extending from the sole to the stifle, and had metastasized to the ipsilateral popliteal and internal iliac lymph nodes.
