The most common findings were polyuria and polydipsia in 30 dogs (75.0%) consisted of 15 iatrogenic (71.4%) and 15 spontaneous (78.9%) cases, and alopecia in 25 dogs (62.5%) including 13 iatrogenic (61.9%) and 12 spontaneous (63.2%) cases. Prevalence rate of the other clinical features such as polyphagia, abdominal enlargement, panting, muscular atrophy, prominent vasculature, calcinosis cutis and thin skin were characteristically high in spontaneous Cushing's syndrome as compared to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome.

    A 9-year-old spayed female Shetland sheep dog was presented because of chronic vaginitis and vulvar erosion with pruritis. Under the tentative diagnosis of infectious vaginitis, disinfection of the region and topical and general application of antibiotics were performed. The symptoms were alleviated to some degree without complete remission. The culture examination of vaginal secretion revealed several bacteria and Candida glabrata which was resistant to the antibiotics applied. Then, the antibiotics were switched to the eutherapeutic ones to the bacteria isolated, and oral administration of terbinafine hydrochloride and topical application of miconazole ointment were initiated. This resulted in remission of the symptoms with no further recurrence. Vulvo-vaginal infection of C. glabrata in this dog might be induced under the long-term chemotherapy for refrectory vulvo-vaginitis.

Histopathologic examination revealed that the lesion was consisted of irregularly dilated hair follicles with numerous mature sebaceous glands surrounded by the connective tissues, the dilated apocrine glands, and the mature lipocytes at the dermis. Based of these findings, the lesion was diagnosed as fibroadnexal hamartoma (WHO,1998), and its similarity to organoid nevus in human was discussed.
