Abstract(s)
Angiokeratoma is described by various authors as a rare variant of the hemangioma in the dog, characterised by a vascular component like all types of vascular neoplasms, but also by an epithelial component.
A case of angiokeratoma is described in a male eight-year-old dog. The tumor was located in heavily pigmented skin on the anterior surface of the front limb and not in the more usual previously described locations - eyelid and conjunctiva.
Microscopic examination revealed a well-circumscribed mass with irregular hyperplasia of the epidermis and dilated vascular spaces filled with blood in the superficial dermis
