| | | Stratified squamous epithelium covering the tissue is ulcerated. The epithelial tissue is proliferative and contiguous in places with a mass present below. The underlying collagen is infiltrated by a solid mass of proliferating squamous epithelial tissue. The epithelial tissue occurs as masses, trabeculae or nests with minimal stromal tissue. The epithelial cells are variable in size; they have large nuclei with prominent nucleoli; mitotic figures are frequent. | | | Stratified squamous epithelium covering the tissue is ulcerated.

| |
| − | question="You now review the contrast-enhanced thoracic CT scan. Based on the image, what do you tell your client?"
| |
| − | choice1="The CT scan is normal and there are no visible secondaries in the lungs. "
| |
| − | choice2="There are metastatic nodules throughout the lungs and nothing further can be done. "
| |
| − | choice3="There are metastatic nodules in the lungs but they will grow slowly so treatment for the oral tumour should go ahead anyway. "
| |
| − | choice4="There are metastatic nodules in the lungs but they will be treated with chemotherapy."
| |
| − | choice5="The scan shows evidence of pulmonary fibrosis so the patient has a second serious medical problem. "
| |
| − | correctchoice="1"
| |
| − | feedback1="'''Correct.'''"
| |
| − | feedback2="'''Incorrect'''. Unfortunately your client takes your advice and euthanizes his dog. "
| |
| − | feedback3="'''Incorrect'''. Your client is concerned that he would be putting the animal through a lot but wouldn’t have very long because of the metastasis and so decides on euthanasia."
| |
| − | feedback4="'''Incorrect'''. Your client is concerned that he would be putting the animal through a lot but wouldn’t have very long because of the metastasis and so decides on euthanasia."

| |
| − | questionnumber="12"
| |
| − | question="Why would an excisional lymph node biopsy of the submandibular lymph node be superior to a fine-needle aspirate?"
| |
| − | choice1="A. Squamous cell carcinoma often causes local inflammation resulting in enlarged lymph nodes; it is important to rule out reactive versus neoplastic."
| |
| − | choice2="B. It is unlikely that the lymph node would be positive so it doesn’t really make any difference. "
| |
| − | choice3="C. A biopsy is always more accurate because early metastatic cells can be missed on cytology. "
| |
| − | choice4="D. Both A and C are correct "
| |
| − | choice5="E. Neither would be appropriate because the sentinel node in this location would be the retropharyngeal node. "

| |
| − | choice1="Excellent - he should be cured. "
| |
| − | choice2="Very good - the risk of local recurrence or metastatic spread is low. "
| |
| − | choice3="Good - he may develop metastatic spread, but not for years. "
| |
| − | choice4="Fair - this was a large tumour that had been present for months before detection so recurrence or metastatic spread is still a possibility. "
| |
| − | choice5="Poor - he would be unlikely to live more than 6 months. "

| |
| − | choice1="The cat could have had neoadjuvant radiation followed by a caudal mandibulectomy with the same outcome. "
| |
| − | choice2="We never perform mandibulectomies on cats because they will not tolerate them. "
| |
| − | choice3="Oral squamous cell carcinoma of the mandible of the cat is very sensitive to radiation so radiation is the sole treatment. "
| |
| − | choice4="Oral squamous cell carcinoma of the cat does not respond well to radiation and the results have been poor with conventional protocols. "
| |
