The aim of this paper is to report a case of dermoid sinus in a Siberian Husky dog. Skin lesions were characterized by dual fistulae in the dorsal thoracic region. Surgical dissection revealed cysts (full of debris, hair and purulent exudate) connected by a fibrous cord to the first and the second thoracic vertebrae.
