Abstract
A middle-aged golden retriever presenting with exercise intolerance and mul tifocal cutaneous nodules was diagnosed as having non-epitheliotropic cutan eous lymphoma with concurrent myasthenia gravis. Treatment with corticoster oids induced short-term remission of the lymphoma and alleviation of myasth enic signs.
