Black Hair Follicular Dysplasia in a Shih-tzu Dog

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A 7 year-old intact female black spotted and white hair Shih-tzu dog visited for screening of vital condition and was suspected multifocal alopecia on physical examination. On dermatologic examination, alopecia with patches on black spot area, generalized seborrhea sicca, and bacterial infection were detected. Additionally, melanin clumping in the hair shafts on the alopecic area was detected by microscopic examination. Based on the signalment and dermatologic examination, black hair follicular dysplasia was diagnosed. To our best knowledge, this the first case report of black hair follicular dysplasia in Shih-tzu.
