Plain-English summary
A group of 68 dogs with nasal problems underwent endoscopic exams to check for tumors in their noses. In 20 of these dogs, the vets found abnormal growths, and further testing confirmed that most of these were cancerous lesions, with adenocarcinoma being the most common type. This means that if your dog has unusual nasal symptoms, an endoscopic exam followed by a biopsy can help determine if there is a tumor present. Early detection is crucial for the best treatment options.

Abstract
This paper aims at evaluating the frequency of nasal cavity tumors in dogs as well as comparing an endoscopic examination with a histopathological evaluation of the collected biopsy specimens. The study was conducted on 68 dogs. During the endoscopic examination, proliferative lesions were recognized in 20 dogs. During the histopathological examination, neoplastic lesions were confirmed in 95% of the dogs in which proliferative lesions were identified in the endoscopic examination. Adenocarcinoma occurred most frequently in the population under study.
