Self-healing abdominal follicular macules associated with sebaceous gland hyperplasia in a juvenile borzoi

Abstract

A 5-month-old female borzoi presented with symmetrically demarcated follicular peach-coloured macules on the ventral abdomen. Histopathological examination findings revealed vascular dilations along with enlargement of the sebaceous glands. Clinically and histopathologically, the lesions spontaneously regressed with maturity and did not reappear. It was suspected that the pubertal endocrine system might have been involved in the pathogenesis.
