Nasal Tumors
Også kjent som: Nasal Neoplasia, Nasal Neoplasms, Primary Neoplasms of the Nasal Cavity

Ensidig snue og lett ansiktssvullnad er tidlige tegn.
Hvordan veterinærer diagnostiserer
Undersokelse, CT/MR, rinoskopi, biopsi (gullstandard), staging; katt FeLV/FIV.

Straling forstevalg. Kirurgi alene sjelden nok. Kjemoterapi (lymfom). Palliativt: NSAID, steroider.
