Pedunculated angiofibrolipoma in the oropharyngeal cavity of a Hungarian Vizsla

The authors report on a primary benign pedunculated mixed mesenchymal tumour showing polypoid character, a so called angiofibrolipoma in the oropharyngeal cavity of a 9-year-old female Hungarian Vizsla. The intra-pharyngeal mesenchymoma caused disturbances in food uptake, hindered ingestion, retching and hawking in the dog. Following surgical removal the symptoms disappeared and recidiva did not occur. According to the literature, pharyngeal angiofibrolipoma has not been described yet in veterinary publications.
