Cutaneous amyloidosis occurs as primary localized form or secondary to systemic amyloidosis. In dogs, cutaneous amyloidosis is reported in association with localized plasma cell proliferation or cutaneous extramedullary plasmacytoma. Primary cutaneous amyloidosis is a very rare condition in dogs. There is paucity of information and published report on primary nodular cutaneous amyloidosis in dogs. This report describes a case of primary nodular cutaneous amyloidosis for the first time in a male Golden Retriever.
