【 摘 要 】

References(14)An 8-year-old spayed femaleNetherland Dwarf rabbit presented with a two-month history of dyspnea and snoring. Acomputed tomography (CT) scan of the head revealed mass lesions in the right nasal cavity.Surgical exenteration of the lesions was performed, and the histopathological diagnosiswas an intranasal adenocarcinoma. On the basis of this diagnosis, radiotherapy was plannedand consisted of eight fractions of 6 Gy administered once a week. After the completion ofradiation therapy, the soft tissue density in the right nasal cavity, as detected by CT,significantly decreased. The prognosis has remained good for over 3 years after treatment.This paper is the first to describe the clinical and pathological features of anintranasal tumor in a rabbit.
