Plain-English summary
An Appenzeller Mountain dog and an Irish Wolfhound were both diagnosed with a nasal tumor called angioleiomyoma. They showed signs of nasal issues, which led to further investigation. After surgery to remove the tumors, both dogs recovered well and were cured. This case emphasizes the need for careful examination of nasal tumors, as some may look cancerous but can actually be benign and treatable with surgery.

Abstract
This case report describes 2 dogs, an Appenzeller Mountain dog and an Irish Wolfhound, with angioleiomyoma within the nasal cavity. Endoscopic surgical resection resulted in cure in both dogs. Macroscopically and on diagnostic imaging, tumor masses may appear malignant because of local turbinate destruction. This highlights the importance of histological examination before any recommendations are made to owners because tumors of the nasal cavity may be benign and surgery curative.
