An 8‐year‐old, spayed, female miniature poodle was presented to the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary Hospital (UPVH) with signs of mild respiratory distress related to increasing laryngeal obstruction. The dog was found to have a unicentric mast cell sarcoma involving the larynx, with tumour infiltration of the tissues between the thyroid and arytenoid cartilages as well as subglottic narrowing. Treatment and differential diagnosis are described.
