- Abstract
A beagle dog aged 1.5 years was presented with the history of multiple nodules on left ear pinnae, which were non-responsive to corticosteroid and antibiotic therapy. Enlarged pre scapular lymph node was noted on physical examination and characteristic lymphocytosis was identified on complete blood count. Histopathology revealed lymphoma of subcutaneous epithelial tissue with predominant T cells. Based on history, physical examination and laboratory findings, the case was diagnosed as Cutaneous Epitheliotropic Lymphoma, generally known as Mycosis Fungoides. Treatment with Lomustine capsules- 40mg at the dose rate of 65mg/m2 once in every three weeks, with six total doses, resulted in an uneventful recovery, with no recurrence of the condition till 6 months.
