A 10-year-old, female Newfoundland-cross dog was presented for evaluation of chronic intermittent unilateral epistaxis, nasal stertor, and sneezing. Nasal magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 3 x 5-cm mass in the left nasal cavity. Histopathological evaluation of nasal biopsies determined that the mass was a malignant melanoma. The mass was surgically resected and treated with bilateral opposed photon-beam radiation. This is the first report to describe the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an intranasal malignant melanoma in a dog.
一只10岁的纽芬兰杂交雌性犬因慢性间歇性单侧鼻出血、鼻鼾和打喷嚏前来评估。鼻腔磁共振成像显示左鼻腔有一个3×5厘米的肿块。对鼻腔活检组织进行组织病理学评估确定该肿块为恶性黑色素瘤。该肿块通过手术切除并接受双侧对向光子束放疗。这是第一份描述犬鼻内恶性黑色素瘤的临床表现、诊断和治疗的报告。
