Infundibular keratinizing acanthoma (IKA) is a benign cutaneous
tumor in dog originated from the hair follicle. The
present study describes IKA in a 4 year old, male terrier
dog. Macroscopically, a cutaneous dome-shaped nodule, 2-3
cm in diameter, with firm consistency, irregular surface and
a central pore was located on the back for several months.
The histopathological examination revealed a large cyst filled
with concentric lamellar keratin that extended into the
dermis and hypodermis. The wall of the cyst was lined by the
stratified squamous keratinizing epithelium. Cords of epithelial
cells had one or two cells thickness expanded outward
from the peripheral zone of the cyst wall. The epithelial cells
were well-differentiated. Mitosis was rare and there was not
polymorphism.
