Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old male Spitz was brought to the vet for sneezing, a runny nose, and bleeding from the left side of his nose. An MRI revealed a mass in his nasal cavity, which was later diagnosed as intranasal hemangiosarcoma, a type of cancer. The dog underwent surgery followed by radiation treatment. Although there were signs of possible recurrence about 30 months later, he remained in good health without any signs of the cancer spreading.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance (MR) was conducted for an 8-year-old, intact male Spitz with sneezing, serous discharge and epistaxis from the left nasal cavity. MR imaging showed a nasal cavity-occupied mass of iso-intensity on T1WI , high-intensity on T2WI and markedly enhanced on contrast-enhanced T1WI at parts of rostal to medial ocular angle in the left cavity. After Surgery and intraoperative radiation, the mass was diagnosed intranasal hemangiosarcoma by histopathology. Although the dog showed the finding, which suggested recurrence after the treatment ending, about 30 months later, it maintained good conditions without evidence of metastasis.
