An adult female beagle (Canis lupus familiaris) used in a model of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy presented with epithelial desquamation on the shoulders and ventrum after receiving the 8th weekly intravenous dose of the free form of doxorubicin (20 mg/m2; total accumulation, 160 mg/m2). The lesions were empirically treated with topical disinfectants and topical and systemic antibiotics. Despite treatment, the lesions progressed and ulcerated. Bacterial culture revealed Staphylococcus aureus, but trichogram, skin scraping, and fungal culture were negative for microorganisms. Skin biopsies revealed epidermal and apocrine gland hyperplasia, apocrine gland dilation, abnormal maturation of epithelial keratinocytes, and perivascular lymphocytic infiltration. These histopathologic findings resemble those in humans and canines after chronic administration of doxorubicin-containing pegylated liposomes. Here we report a clinical presentation after chronic administration of the free form of doxorubicin. In dogs, cutaneous toxicity after administration of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin is most often localized to the footpads, limbs, and axillary and urogenital regions. In the current case, lesions affected the ventrum and trunk but did not involve the footpads or axillary or urogenital regions.
