Abstract
A case of multiple dermoid sinuses in the dorsal cervical and cranioth oracic regions in an adult chow chow dog is described. One sinus did n ot open on the skin surface. This is the first reported case of the co ndition in this breed and the first time absence of the sinus opening on the skin is described. The use of the term pilonidal sinus to descr ibe this condition is challenged.
