Abstract
A nasopharyngeal polyp was diagnosed in a seven-month-old Chinese shar pei with a four-month history of labored and stertorous breathing. Th e polyp was removed through a transpalatal approach following endotrac heal intubation by pharyngotomy. Age at presentation, presenting signs , histological appearance of the polyp, and postoperative course for t he dog were similar to those reported previously for cats with nasopha ryngeal polyps.
