Intranasal tumors in dogs are rare neoplastic diseases with obvious clinical signs, such as epistaxis, nasal congestion, and facial deformity. Radiation therapy is the treatment of choice but is not always accessible due to geographical location, logistics, or financial constraints. Other treatments may not be used because of various restrictions. We performed transnasal intranasal tumor volume reduction in 2 dogs with intranasal tumors; 1 dog had an adenocarcinoma and the other had a fibrosarcoma. In both cases, improvement in the quality of life (QOL), including reduced clinical signs and increased activity, was observed ~1 wk after treatment. No obvious complications were associated with this treatment. Although tumor recurrence was noted in both cases, this treatment could be applied multiple times. In conclusion, transnasal nasal tumor volume reduction is a palliative method that contributes to improvement of clinical signs and QOL. Key clinical message: We report palliative treatment of intranasal tumors in dogs. The treatment described in this report is available to most veterinarians and helps improve the QOL of dogs with nasal tumors, including improving respiratory status.
犬鼻腔肿瘤是罕见的肿瘤性疾病，具有鼻出血、鼻塞和面部畸形等明显临床症状。放射治疗是首选治疗方法，但由于地理位置、后勤保障或经济限制，并非总是可行。由于各种限制，其他治疗方法可能无法使用。我们对2只患有鼻腔肿瘤的犬进行了经鼻鼻腔肿瘤体积缩小术；1只犬患有腺癌，另1只患有纤维肉瘤。在这两个病例中，治疗后约1周观察到生活质量（QOL）有所改善，包括临床症状减轻和活动增加。该治疗未出现明显并发症。虽然两个病例均出现肿瘤复发，但该治疗可多次应用。总之，经鼻鼻腔肿瘤体积缩小术是一种姑息性方法，有助于改善临床症状和生活质量。关键临床信息：我们报告了犬鼻腔肿瘤的姑息性治疗。本报告中描述的治疗方法大多数兽医都可采用，有助于改善患有鼻腔肿瘤犬的生活质量，包括改善呼吸状况。
