Application of a Cyclooxygenase Inhibitor and Itraconazole for Pulmonary Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Dog

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A dog with anorexia, cough, and regurgitation was referred to clinic. Diagnostic imaging revealed a solitary mass involving the right cranial and middle lung lobes, compression of the cranial vena cava, and deviation of the heart and mediastinum toward the left side because the mass. The mass was diagnosed as a squamous cell carcinoma via fine needle aspiration. Ten days later, the tumor was larger and the clinical signs were more severe. A combination of piroxicam and itraconazole was administered to control the mass. Two weeks after initiating this treatment, the tumor size decreased and the clinical signs improved significantly.
