A 5-year-old male neutered mixed breed dog and an 8-year-old female spayed golden retriever presented for cervical swelling which was later diagnosed as abscessation of the retropharyngeal lymph node with a malignant round cell tumor and carcinoma with multifocal squamous differentiation, respectively. In veterinary medicine, there is limited published information regarding abscessation of lymph nodes secondary to a neoplastic process. While more common in humans, there are only limited case reports available. Advanced imaging (computed tomography), cytology, surgical excision, and histopathology lead to the final diagnosis. Both dogs underwent surgical extirpation of the lymph nodes and adjuvant chemotherapy protocols. Six weeks postsurgical excision, dog one was euthanized due to quality-of-life concerns. The second dog successfully completed 18 treatments of radiation therapy and was still alive at 388 days postsurgical excision. At the time of manuscript submission, the second dog was doing well clinically.
一只5岁已绝育的杂种公犬和一只8岁已绝育的金毛猎犬因颈部肿胀前来就诊，后来分别被诊断为咽后淋巴结脓肿伴恶性圆形细胞瘤和多灶性鳞状分化癌。在兽医学中，关于肿瘤性病变继发淋巴结脓肿的已发表信息有限。虽然在人类中更常见，但仅有有限的病例报告。先进的影像学检查（计算机断层扫描）、细胞学检查、手术切除和组织病理学检查得出了最终诊断。两只狗都接受了淋巴结手术切除和辅助化疗方案。手术切除六周后，第一只狗因生活质量问题被安乐死。第二只狗成功完成了18次放射治疗，在手术切除后388天仍然存活。在提交手稿时，第二只狗临床状况良好。
