An 11‐year‐old intact male Shiloh Shepherd was presented for evaluation of epistaxis, decreased nasal airflow, and destructive caudal nasal lesion identified using CT. Histopathologic evaluation of the nasal mass was consistent with a ganglioneuroma. The dog was treated with 10 × 4.2 Gy using IMRT technique. Post radiation therapy (RT), improvement in clinical signs were noted. Tumor progressed in size based on CT evaluation at 49 days, 3, and 6 months post‐treatment. A grade 2 oral mucositis was the only RT side effect noted. Radiation therapy as described above was completed without evidence of high‐grade radiation toxicities and has potential to improve clinical signs but failed to induce tumor response.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
