We consider a multidimensional pantograph-type nonlinear diffusion equation with a linearly increasing time delay and scaling with respect to spatial variables in the source (sink). It is proposed to construct exact solutions by the reduction method using two ansatzes with a quadratic dependence on spatial variables. The dependence of the solution on spatial variables is found from a system of algebraic equations, and the dependence on time is found from a system of ordinary differential equations with a linearly increasing delay of the argument. A number of examples of exact solutions are given, both radially symmetric and anisotropic with respect to spatial variables.
