Abstract

A case of melanosarcoma of the soft palate in a dog is reported in this paper. The animal showed progressive signs of dyspnea and dysphagia,
dying one month later. A brownish tumour was verified obstructing the pharynx. The microscopic examination revealed a melanosarcoma. It is a rare localization and only one case was described in the Veterinary literature and hence collected 32 cases with such localization in the medical literature.
