A dog developed penile sheath swelling after castration, diagnosed as acquired cutaneous lymphangiectasia. Furosemide treatment provided temporary relief for this rare lymphatic condition.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Dermatology
Canine Pathology

Background:

Post-castration complications in dogs can manifest uniquely.
Lymphatic system abnormalities can affect cutaneous structures.

Observation:

A 3-year-old mixed-breed dog presented with penile sheath swelling post-castration.
Physical exam showed pitting edema and turgid vesicles on the prepuce and inguinal area.
Histopathology revealed dilated lymphatic channels in the dermis.

Findings:

The condition was diagnosed as acquired cutaneous lymphangiectasia.
Clinical signs resolved with furosemide administration.
Recurrences of preputial swelling occurred without vesicles, partially responding to furosemide.

Implications:

This case highlights acquired cutaneous lymphangiectasia as a potential post-surgical complication in dogs.
Furosemide may offer symptomatic relief for this condition.
Further research into the pathogenesis and long-term management of canine cutaneous lymphangiectasia is warranted.
