Oral Tumors Note Card Set Flashcards
most common oral tumors in dogs
melanoma, SCC, fibosarcoma
most common oral tumor in cats
SCC
diagnostic that should be performed on friable, ulcerated oral masses
oral biopsy
diagnostic imaging good for mandible
rads
diagnostic imaging good for maxilla
CT
most common canine malignant oral tumor; males more commonly affected
melanoma
melanoma metastasizes early to ________
regional LNs, lungs
second most common malignant oral tumor in dogs; most common in cats
SCC
slower to metastasize than melanoma, so there is potential for sx cure with _____ if no mets in regional LNs
SCC
prognosis for melanoma post sx
poor
prognosis for SCC post sx in dogs
good
_____ SCC is highly malignant and has early metastasis
tonsillar
prognosis for SCC post sx in cats
poor
common in large breed dogs on the maxilla, caudal to the canine tooth
fibrosarcoma
in _____ dogs fibrosarcoma is slow growing
older
in _____ dogs, fibrosarcoma is aggressive
young
benign proliferation of fibrous CT which may contain isolated islands of odontogenic epithelium; local excision curative
POF (peripheral odontogenic fibroma)
arises peripherally from remnants of dental laminar epithelium; contains islands or sheets of squamous epithelium in fibrous CT; benign but locally invasive in bone
AA (acanthomatous ameloblastoma)
arises from dental laminar epithelium; may be cystic with considerable bone destruction
CA (central ameloblastoma)
inductive odontogenic tumor that produces dental hard tissues; contains tooth-like structures
odontoma
wart-like growths in oral cavity; usually spontaneously regress but can transform into SCC
oral papilloma
avoid sampling or removing _______ when performing cervical lymph node biopsy
salivary glands
reason for biopsying cervical lymph nodes
staging
when cervical LN biopsy is performed, all three lymphocentrums- __________- should be removed ipsilateral to the tumor
parotid, mandibular, medial retropharyngeal
suture material that should be used with oral tumors
polyglactin 910, polyglytone
