Abstract

This is a report of an unusual multicentric squamous cell carcinoma in the larynx of a Pekingese dog. A 5-year-old female Pekingese dog with a 1-month history of unexplained pain localized to an asymmetrical swelling of the neck together with lethargy and poor appetite was referred to the Veterinary Clinic of Shiraz University. Plain radiographs of the neck revealed ventral displacement of the trachea, with the space between the trachea and spine occupied by a soft tissue mass. Histopathology of the mass affirmed squamous cell carcinoma that affected the larynx. According to the history, clinical signs, radiology, necropsy findings, and histopathological examination, the case was diagnosed as laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
