A 5-year-old male Golden Retriever was examined because of a chronic localized loss of hair and elevated, multiple white nodules 2–8 mm in diameter that coalesced in several areas on the right side of the neck. The principle change was marked hyperplasia of the dermal collagen. The lesion is compatible with the connective tissue nevus described in man.
