title: Cutaneous hybrid cyst in four dogs.
abstract: Cutaneous hybrid cysts were recognized in 4 dogs. The lesions were solitary, asymptomatic, and occurred over the head, neck, proximal thigh, and lumbar region. These cysts were not accompanied by other disease processes, and did not recur following surgical excision. Histologically, the hybrid cyst is characterized by epidermal differentiation in its upper portion, and trichilemmal differentiation in its lower portion.
