Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Nasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pig
This is the first reported case of a Vietnamese Pot-bellied pig undergoing treatment for nasal squamous cell carcinoma. A multimodal diagnostic and therapeutic approach was applied, including advanced imaging, rhinoscopy, surgical intervention, and vigilant post-operative monitoring, which resulted in successful management and a favorable long-term outcome. Neoplasia should be considered as a differential diagnosis in pigs presenting with nonspecific nasal signs.
