title: Salivary mucocele in a dog.
abstract: A 4-year-old German Shepherd, with a 3-week history of anorexia, intermittent dysphagia and a serous nasal discharge, had a fluctuant mass protruding from its left pharyngeal wall. Cytologic examination of an aspirate suggested a salivary mucocele. Creation of a window in the mucocele did not prevent recurrence, so the lining of the sac was resected, after which the mucocele did not recur.
