Revision as of 09:57, 18 August 2009

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.

-The lesions are slow growing and locally invasive.The most prominent feature of this type of tumour is that it produces amyloid which tends to calcify.

 ===Diagnostic Imaging===
-Skull radiography may show a soft tissue opacity  with mineralization within the mass. Periosteal reaction of the adjacent bone may be visualised. If a malignant neoplasm is a diagnostic possibility, thoracic radiography should be carried out to evaluate for lung metastases.

-Histologically, the tumour appears to be well demarcated from the surrounding tissue but is not encapsulated.
 ==Treatment==
-Surgical excision with narrow margins is normally sufficient.

-Radiation therapy should be considered in cases of incomplete surgical excision.
 ==Prognosis==
-Good following complete surgical excision however recurrance following incomplete surgical excision is possible.
