J Vet Med A Physiol Pathol Clin Med. 2006 Sep;53(7):352-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0442.2006.00834.x.

Abstract

Two cases of clear cell trichoblastomas were diagnosed in young dogs. The tumour had ribbons of basaloid cells as seen in ribbon trichoblastomas, as well as differentiation to external root sheath of the hair follicle and few cells with sebaceous differentiation. This is the first report of clear cell trichoblastoma in dogs.
