Summary:The pathology of the turbinates in the dog - a complex and still inadequately known problem - is examined. Thanks to the extensive case-list collected by the authors, it has been possible to make an initial, clear-cut distinction between non-neoplastic and neoplastic forms. The aetiological agents of the first have been identified as: traumatic lesions, foreign bodies, and viral, bacterial, mycotic, metazoal, and protozoal (Leishmania). With the aid of clinical, radiological, cultural, histological, and anatomico-pathological findings, the authors identify and classify various degenerative processes of the turbinates which are the cause of severe rhinitis the diagnostic and therapeutic features of which are carefully analyzed. In the case of neoplastic forms, not only have the clinical and radiological findings been examined, but also those of histological and anatomico-pathological pertinence, so that forms can be recognized and classified in: soft tissue tumors, primitive bone neoplasms, and secondary bone neoplasms. ITALIANO: Viene affrontato il capitolo delle turbinatopatie nel cane, problema complesso e finora poco noto. L'ampia casistica raccolta dagli autori ha permesso un'iniziale e netta distinzione fra processi non neoplastici e processi neoplastici. Dei primi, vengono individuati gli agenti etiologici in: lesioni traumatiche, corpi estranei, agenti virali, batterici, micotici, metazoari e protozoari (leishmania). Ricerche clinico-radiologiche, colturali, anatomo-istopatologiche hanno permesso di conoscere e classificare processi regressivi di diversa forma a livello dei turbinati, che si rendono responsabili di gravi riniti i cui caratteri diagnostico-terapeutici vengono accuratamente studiati. Per le forme neoplastiche, accanto ai caratteri clinico radiologici, si sono impostate ricerche anatomo-istopatologiche che hanno permesso di classificare le neoplasie dei turbinati in: neoplasie dei tessuti molli, neoplasie ossee primitive e neoplasie ossee secondarie.
