Canine ichthyosis is a hereditary primary keratoseborreheic disorder, which has been reported in Golden retrievers, American bulldogs, Jack Russell terriers, Cavalier King Charles spaniel and Great danes. This report describes a clinical case in a Boston terrier that has presented multiples skin lesions since she was a puppy, has years of evolution and several previous unsuccessful treatments. The diagnosis was made by ruling out other dermatopathies and a histopathological study. Lifelong multimodal treatment was instaured to reestablish the skin barrier and manage the cornification disorder.

Keywords : Boston terrier; canine ichthyosis; cornification; hyperkeratosis.
