Plain-English summary
A 7-year-old neutered male Labrador retriever was brought to the vet because he had been sneezing intermittently and had occasional nosebleeds on the left side for about a year. A CT scan showed a mass in his left nasal cavity, and a biopsy confirmed it was a type of tumor called leiomyoma. The vet performed surgery to remove the mass, and afterward, the dog had no more nasal discharge and sneezing decreased significantly. Fourteen months later, follow-up scans showed that the mass had not returned.

Abstract
A 7-year-old, 34-kg, neutered male Labrador retriever was presented with a 1-year history of intermittent sneezing with occasional left-sided epistaxis. CT revealed a mass in the left nasal cavity. Histopathological analysis of rhinoscopy-guided tissue biopsies was consistent with chronic necrotic and ulcerative rhinitis. Surgical debridement by ventral rhinotomy was subsequently performed and histopathological diagnosis was leiomyoma. Complete resolution of the nasal discharge and reduced sneezing frequency were observed after surgery. Fourteen months postoperatively, CT detected no regrowth of the mass.
