BACKGROUND: Follicular lipidosis is a rare disease, having only been reported in six Rottweiler dogs. The diagnosis of follicular lipidosis is confirmed by histopathological examination of the affected skin. OBJECTIVE: To report a case of follicular lipidosis in a dachshund dog. ANIMALS: A 13‐month‐old female dachshund dog, with hypotrichosis on the head and cervical region from 10 months of age. METHODS: Histological examination of skin biopsy specimens. RESULTS: Histological examination revealed basket weave orthokeratosis, ballooning of matrix cells and external root sheath keratinocytes. CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: This case report highlights the importance of including follicular lipidosis among the differential diagnoses of noninflammatory and nonhormonal cutaneous lesions in dachshund presented with hair loss.
