Abstract
We report a systemic mycosis in a German shepherd dog caused by Scytalidium spp. The patient presented for progressive cervical pain and forelimb hemiparesis. Cervical computed tomography revealed lysis associated with multiple vertebrae and a soft tissue mass adjacent to the spinal cord, as well as prescapular lymphadenopathy. Fine needle aspirates of the lymph nodes yielded hyphae, and a subsequent culture obtained a Scytalidium spp. Itraconazole therapy was initiated, but the subject was euthanized three months later due to progressive neurologic disease and discomfort. This appears to be the first report of disseminated disease by this species in veterinary medicine.
