Objective To report temporal lobe surgery for a cavernous hemangioma in a dog and outcome. Study design Clinical report. Animals Dog (n = 1). Methods Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was used to identify a temporal lobe mass in 9‐year‐old, male neutered Labrador Retriever that had a 12 hour history of seizures. An approach to the temporal lobe allowed preservation of the zygomatic arch and mass removal. Results The mass was confirmed as a cavernous hemangioma on histopathology. Repeat MR imaging at 13 months showed no recurrence of gross structural disease; however, the dog's anti‐epileptic medication was administered for adequate seizure control. Conclusion Temporal lobe surgery can be performed in the dog's for the management of temporal lobe mass lesions.
