Cutaneous staphylococcal granuloma in a cat.

A 4.5-year-old domestic longhaired cat with a history of psychogenic alopecia and self-trauma exhibited progressive, severe, and extensive nodular and draining lesions on the ventral abdomen. Euthanasia was elected. A diagnosis of the rare skin disease, staphylococcal granuloma, was subsequently made based upon postmortem and histopathology findings.
