Abstrakt: Melanoma is a common type of neoplasia found mainly in white coated breeds of dogs and one of the most challenging conditions encountered in day-to-day veterinary practice. A 15 years old male intact Labrador Retriever was presented with a history of selective feeding, dysphagia, hyporexia and abnormal barking sound. The physical examination of oral cavity appreciated a black moist pedunculated pharyngeal mass. The clinical parameters were in normal range. The radiographic examination revealed multiple miliary nodules in the pulmonary area. On histopathological examination of the surgically resected mass, it was confirmed as Malignant Melanoma. The diagnosis and surgical resection of the mass was carried out which resulted in recovery of the dog. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
