==Typical Signalment==
*This is a common odontogenic tumour in cats.
*More rarely found in dogs.
==Description==
==Diagnosis==
===Clinical Signs===
*halitosis
*oral bleeding
*dental disruption or loss
*facial or mandibular deformity
*excessive salivation
*growth protruding from the mouth
*dysphagia occurs rarely
===Diagnostic Imaging===
Skull radiography may show a soft tissue opacity in the area of the gingiva with lytic invasion of the underlying alveolar bone. If a malignant neoplasm is a dignostic possibility, thoracic radiography should be carried out to evaluate for lung metastases.
===Biopsy===
Required for a definitive diagnosis
*Incisional Biopsy - best
*Cytological or grab procedures - difficult to obtain a representative sample
==Treatment==
*
==Prognosis==
Good following complete surgical excision.
