Plain-English summary
A 7-year-old male Springer Spaniel was brought in for a mass in his throat. He had surgery to remove the tumor while under general anesthesia, and a special intubation technique was used to help manage his airway during the procedure. Thankfully, the surgery went smoothly without any complications. Afterward, he received radiotherapy to help prevent the cancer from coming back, and follow-up visits showed no signs of disease recurrence.

Abstract
A 7‐year 2‐month‐old, entire, male Springer Spaniel dog was presented to the oncology service at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies for a nasopharyngeal mass. The patient underwent a debulking surgery of the tumour under general anaesthesia, and a transmylohyoid endotracheal intubation was performed for the airway management. The surgery and the anaesthesia were uneventful. No complication associated with the surgical site and intubation incision site was reported. The patient received radiotherapy following the surgery, and there was no sign of disease recurrence in the follow‐up consults.
