Mycosis fungoides is an uncommon kind of epitheliotropic lymphoma, originated from T
cells. The aim of this work is to describe a case of this disease in a male, mongrel, 5 years old
dog, that was brought to the Small Animal Clinic Service with alopecic, erythematous, non
pruriginous nodules with generalized distribution. The final diagnosis was made based on
clinical signs, cytology, histopathology and immunohistochemistry exam of the lesions. The
cells were positive for CD3 and negative for CD 79a, showing a T cell immunophenotype.
