Abstract
A 13-year-old male neutered Labradoodle presented with a 1-year history of gagging, retching, coughing, and stridor. Physical examination revealed large pedunculated tonsillar masses, confirmed by CT imaging to be obstructing the upper airway, and concurrent laryngeal paralysis. The larger mass, originating from the left tonsillar crypt, extended into the nasopharynx, while a smaller mass was identified on the right. A bilateral tonsillectomy was performed, histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of tonsillar polyps and postoperative recovery was uneventful. Based on our literature research, this is the first reported case of bilateral tonsillar polyps in a dog described on CT.
