An 11-year-old spayed female Miniature Schnauzer dog was presented with loss of a claw caused by a nail bed mass. Histopathological evaluation revealed that the mass comprised neoplastic squamous cells with abundant cytoplasmic melanin pigment. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive for cytokeratin and negative for vimentin and ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1, supporting a diagnosis of pigmented squamous cell carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of subungual pigmented squamous cell carcinoma in animals.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) in dogs is a locally invasive tumor that typically occurs in areas of poorly pigmented skin due to sun exposure. Identifying new biomarkers, such as syndecan-1 (CD138) and E-cadherin, is fundamental for tumor diagnosis and prognosis. Dysregulation of syndecan-1, expressed in epithelial tissue, fibroblasts, and plasma cells, is associated with poor prognosis in several types of cancer.

Lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH) corresponds to gastric metaplasia, but is regarded as a pathological condition with subtle morphological abnormalities. LEGH is a benign lesion and a precursor to gastric-type adenocarcinoma.

This is the case of chronic chromoblastomycosis (CBM) in a 61-year-old male from the Dominican Republic (DR) with extensive cutaneous eruptions over multiple areas of the body including bilateral lower extremities and the flank extending to the back. A 61-year-old male with a history of morbid obesity, chronic kidney disease stage III, and well-controlled hypertension presented to the family medicine clinic for the evaluation of chronic painful skin lesions on his legs and torso. The lesions began 19 years prior, following a flood in the Dominican Republic (DR) where he was living at the time.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 59-year-old woman showed a painful, slow-growing vulvar lesion diagnosed as BSC, confirmed by biopsy and treated with partial radical vulvectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy, both showing no evidence of metastasis.
- * This case highlights the importance of recognizing squamous differentiation in BSC for ensuring complete surgical excision, as it has a higher risk of recurrence and metastasis compared to basal cell carcinoma,
