Diode laser ablation of a tracheal osteochondroma in a dog

Abstract: A 4-month-old Golden Retriever underwent laryngoscopy/tracheoscopy for severe inspiratory dyspnea. A tracheal mass almost completely obstructing the lumen was noted. Histopathology was consistent with osteochondroma. Successful endoscopic diode laser ablation of the tumour and follow up are described.

“…The dog in the present report was presented with a two‐week history of progressively worsening stridor and a single syncopal episode. This presentation is similar to previously reported clinical signs associated with tracheal neoplasia and include dyspnoea, wheezing, stridor, cough, exercise intolerance and syncope 2 7 10 12 15. The owner also mentioned that the stridor and respiratory effort appeared to be worse at rest.…”

“…The use of laser debulking in respiratory tumours provides immediate relief of clinical signs and can be curative in benign lesions 9. The use of laser therapy in removal of mass lesions has been reported in veterinary medicine,19–21 and was recently attempted with a successful outcome in a canine tracheal osteochondroma 10. In the current case, laser ablation offered a minimal invasive approach to remove a large tracheal tumour.…”
