Abstract

A 7-year-old male Yorkshire terrier was examined for multiple plaques and nodules on the skin. The clinical, cytological and histopathological features indicated a malignant histiocytosis. Cytoreductive chemotherapy produced moderate clinical improvement, but died at day 90 after the first admission. Pathological examination revealed the neoplastic histiocytes in the skin as well as in the myocardium and skeletal muscles.
