A pharyngeal salivary mucocele was diagnosed in a seven-year-old male Irish softcoated wheaten terrier. The diagnosis was based on history, clinical findings, paracentesis and histopathology. An underlying etiology was not identified. Treatment consisted of the surgical removal of the mandibular and sublingual glands on the affected side and the resection of redundant pharyngeal tissue. Neither postsurgical complications, nor recurrence of the mucocele were observed ten months later
