Abstract
Three mixed‐breed dogs and a Boxer dog with nodular dermatofibrosis are described. The three mixed breed dogs had concurrent renal epithelial cysts (n = 2) or renal cystadenomas (n = 1); these lesions were visualized antemortem on ultrasonographic examination. One of these dogs was a 7‐year‐old Labrador Retriever‐Gordon Setter mixed breed which survived 5 years after diagnosis, and was euthanized for unrelated causes. The Boxer dog had renal cystic adenomatous hyperplasia and renal cystadenocarcinomas which were not visualized on ultrasonographic examination but were diagnosed at necropsy.
