Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma is considered rare among neoplasms in the nasal and paranasal sinuses. Out of the 987 dogs with tumors on various sites, 14 dogs (1.4%) had tumors in the nasal and paranasal sinuses; including two squamous cell carcinomas. In the present communication, we describe squamous cell carcinoma in these 2 dogs. As far as the authors are aware, this is the first report of squamous cell carcinoma in the nasal cavity in dogs from Grenada.
