Plain-English summary
A 1-year-old male golden retriever had a growth in his throat that was causing problems. The vet performed surgery to remove the polyp-like mass, but it came back after four months. The dog underwent another surgery to remove the regrowth, and thankfully, there have been no signs of it returning for over a year now. This case is notable as it is the first reported instance of this type of growth in dogs.

Abstract
A polypoid angioleiomyoma was surgically removed from the nasopharynx of a 1-year-old, male golden retriever. The polypoid mass recurred 4 months later and was again excised. There was no sign of regrowth 13 months postoperatively. This is, apparently, the first reported angioleiomyoma occurring in the dog.
