Description

A 15-year-old intact male miniature pinscher was presented for difficulty eating. Oral examination revealed an ulcerative lesion on the ventral anterior one-third of the tongue surrounding the frenulum. Histopathology revealed that the lesion was squamous cell carcinoma. The dog underwent total glossectomy with an aim of complete surgical resection of the tumor. The dog could eat unaided after surgery, but could not drink and developed moderate dehydration. Therefore, a gastrostomy tube was placed to administer water. The quality of life of the dog remained acceptable until 18 months after surgery, when the dog died with dyspnea from neoplastic thoracic effusion. Lung metastasis of the tongue tumor was suspected.
