Malignant Pilomatricoma in a Young Dog

Malignant pilomatricoma is malignant follicular tumor with only matrical differentiation. Malignant pilomatricoma is rare in dogs. There is little information about sex, breed and age predisposition. There are a few reports of canine malignant pilomatricoma in middle to old age dogs. However, this n...
