Computed tomographic appearance of laryngeal lesions in 7 dogs.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the computed tomographic (CT) features of neoplastic and inflammatory laryngeal masses. The authors hypothesized that specific CT features may help differentiate between these two origins and that regional lymph nodes would be larger in cases of laryngeal neoplasia.

Methods

Medical records from two veterinary referral hospitals were screened for dogs diagnosed with either an inflammatory or neoplastic laryngeal mass who underwent CT scans of the neck. Information retrieved from medical records included signalment, physical examination findings, CT scan findings, and definitive diagnosis of the laryngeal mass based on cytological or histopathological results.

Results

Four dogs had laboratory reports compatible with a malignant neoplasia and three
