Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old male neutered Golden Retriever was brought in for seizures and circling to the right. An MRI showed a large tumor in the brain that extended into the nasal cavity. The dog underwent surgery to remove part of the tumor, but unfortunately, he developed more seizures and circling about a month later, and the tumor grew back. Sadly, the owner chose to euthanize him due to the worsening condition.

Abstract
History:A 10-year-old male neutered Golden Retriever dog presented for seizures and a tendency for clockwise circling. A large extra-axial homogenously contrast-enhancing mass was seen with magnetic resonance imaging in the right frontal lobe/olfactory bulb area extending into the nasal cavity. A transfrontal craniotomy with debulking was performed with cytological touch impressions and biopsy. Acute-onset focal seizures and episodes of compulsive circling started around 1 month following surgery, with regrowth of the extra-axial mass with secondary perilesional edema on imaging. Euthanasia was elected.
