Abstract

A 39 kg, 7-year-old male Labrador Retriever dog with a 3-month history of epistaxis, sneezing, and nasal discharge was referred to the Veterinary Medical Center of the Tokyo University. On the plain X-ray and computed tomography (CT) of the head showed increased density of the soft tissue in the left nasal cavity and the tumor infiltrated to nasal septum. The tumor mass removed by rhinotomy. Histopathological examination of the mass revealed adenocarcinoma. Four weeks after the surgery, the radiation therapy was performed twice a week for f weeks. 4 months after surgery, the dog had a recurrence in nasal cavity and administered carboplatin 300 mg/$m^2$ twice. However, the tumor had no response to chemotherapy, additional surgery and additional radiation therapy, and the dog was euthanized at the owner's request. At necropsy, metastatic proliferation was confirmed in the lung, lymph nodes and nasal cavity.
