Abstract
A 7-year-old male Dachshund weighing 9.5 kg
was presented with a progressive swelling in
the ventral neck region near the angle of mandible
for the last 25 days. The swelling was soft with a
hard fluctuating mass within it, and it had no pain.
On fine needle aspiration, blood tinged mucous was
observed. The rectal temperature, respiratory rate
and pulse rate were within the normal range. The
lateral radiograph of the neck region revealed a soft
tissue swelling surrounding a radio-opaque mass
with uneven border (Fig. 1). The case was tentatively
diagnosed as salivary mucocele and it was decided
to treat it surgically.
