Abstract
A 10-year-old sterilized female DSH cat was referred to the Small Animal Teaching Hospital (SATH), Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University for diagnosis and treatment. She was quiet, alert, and responsive (QAR) and had a normal appetite. The clinical sign of upper respiratory distress with stridor had been presented for more than three months. Computed tomography (CT) and radiography examination were used for diagnosis, and the results showed a soft tissue mass in the nasopharyngeal region. The morphology and position of the nasopharyngeal mass were demonstrated by retrograde rhinoscopy, which was underwent a biopsy simultaneously. Histopathological examination indicated an amelanotic melanoma. The finding offers a diagnostic approach for amelanotic melanoma, an uncommon occurrence in the nasopharyngeal region.
