Neoplasia of the larynx in the dog.

The clinical, radiographic, gross pathologic, and histologic findings in 4 dogs with primary laryngeal neoplasia and 1 dog with secondary laryngeal neoplasia were reviewed. The clinical and radiographic findings were compared with those for proliferative inflammatory laryngeal conditions, since such conditions pose a problem in differential diagnosis. The most common clinical sign was hoarse bark or loss of voice, with subsequent onset of exertional dyspnea and cough.
