Abstract
A 10-year-old golden retriever dog was presented for evaluation of progressive panting, inspiratory stridor, and gagging. Oropharyngeal examination revealed a soft, nonulcerated, pedunculated mass arising from the right tonsillar fossa. The mass was completely excised and histopathology was consistent with a sialolipoma. No regrowth of the mass was evident 6 months after surgery.
