[en] The paper describes clinical signs and diagnosis in 81 cases of intranasal tumors n the dog, examined at the Small Animal Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Liege (1990-1995).
Recent diagnostic techniques and therapeutic options are discussed.
The most frequently encountered signs included a decreased or absence of unilateral air passage, observed in 78 cases (96%), and hemorrhagic discharge, observed in 65 cases (80%).
Histopathology identified 2 benign and 79 malignant tumors, 57 epithelial and 22 mesenchymatous, including 2 lymphomas. In 74 cases, rhinoscopy identified an intranasal neoplastic mass; in the 7 remaining cases, tissular material of undetermined nature was observed, and histology of biospsied material confirmed the neoplastic nature.
The time interval between the diagnosis and the death of the animal (spontaneous or by euthanasia) was longer in dogs with an intranasal sarcoma (mean time interval of 7 months) than in dogs with an intranasal carcinoma (mean time interval of 3 months).
