The radiographs of 60 cases of canine nasal neoplasia were reviewed. The dorso‐ventral intra‐oral view provided most information and the lateral view supplied supplementary detail. The most common changes were turbinate destruction rostrally and caudally, with a homogenous increase in radiopacity. Bilateral involvement was present in 38 cases. Absence (26) and thinning (7) of the vomer bone were found, as was deviation of the cartilaginous septum (11). Destruction of the maxilla or palatine bones produced radiolucencies which were superimposed on the increased radio‐opacity in 17 cases.
