Cutaneous epitheliotropiclymphoma is a rare and aggressive neoplastic disease in dogs with poor prognosis even with various chemotherapeutic protocols.A ten-yearold mixed breed male neutered dog was presented with two cutaneous erythematous nodules which were removed surgically.Two months later the patient was presented with similar lesions all over the body which was confirmed as cutaneous epitheliotropic lymphoma with excisional biopsy, clinical signs and history.Chemotherapy protocol CHOP (vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisolone) was initiated and the quality of life improved initially.But by fourth week of CHOP protocol patient's health deteriorated along with severe anaemia, leucopenia and thrombocytopenia, and the dog had to be humanely put to sleep upon request of the pet parent.
