A two-year-old, female Golden Retriever dog weighting 36 kg was presented to the private clinic with the history of solitary growth over the elbow region. Sample was collected for biopsy and it revealed cutaneous histiocytoma. On thoracic ultrasonography no metastasis of lungs was noticed. Microscopic examination of biopsy samples revealed sheets of densely packed round cells, with round to oval nuclei and nucleoli, some cells showed multinucleation and bi-nucleation, moderate amount of pale blue cytoplasm was also observed.
