Oral Tumors (some OMM) Flashcards
What % of oral melanomas are amelanotic?
38%
What antiboides hawve been found to have 100% specificity and 94% sensitivity for dx’ing melanoma?
PNL2, Melan A, TRP-1 and TRP-2
What is the metastatic rate for dogs with OMM?
Stage dependent, can be as high as 80%
What are the five histologic subtypes of SCC in dogs?
conventional, papillary, basaloid, adenosquamous and spindle cell
What is the common case presentation for oral papillary SCC in dogs?
Young dogs (usually <9mo) in the rostral oral cavity
What location of oral SCC has a higher rate of metastasis vs. lower?
Higher: tongue and tonsil Lower: rostral oral cavity
What has been shown to increase the risk of oral SCC in cats?
flea collars and high intake of either canned food or canned tuna, household tobacco smoke
Mutations in what gene are significantly increased in SCC lesions in cats with smoke exposure compared to those w/o smoke exposure
p53
Increased tumor expression of ____ in cats with oral SCC may play a role in bone resorption and tumor invasion
parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rp)
What is the rate of metastasis for cats with oral SCC?
31% mandibular LN, 10% lungs
Where do hi-low fibrosarcs usually occur in dogs?
hard palate and maxillary arcade b/w canine and carnassial teeth
What are peripheral odontogenic fibromas?
benign gingival proliferations arising from the periodontal ligament (previous name = epulides)
Where are peripheral odontogenic fibromas more likely to occur in the mouth?
Maxilla rostral to the 3rd premolars
Where is the most common location for acanthomatous ameloblastoma?
Rostral mandibule (51%)
What was the diagnostic accuracy of FNA and impression smear cytology for cats and dogs with oral tumors?
FNA: dogs 98%, cats 96% impression: dogs 92%, cats 96%
Bone lysis is not evident on radiographs until ____% of the cortex is destroyed
40% or more
How did CT vs. radiographs compare for diagnosing invasion into surrounding structures for maxillary masses in dogs?
CT showed >90% of dogs had invasion vs. only 30% on radiographs
What was the relationship of normal and enlarged LN and presence of metastasis in dogs with OMM?
40% of dogs with normal sized LN had mets 49% of dogs with enlarged LNs did not have mets
For cats and dogs with oral tumors with LN metastasis, what was the rate of the mandibular LN being affected?
55% - need to look at other nodes, too!
What is the one type of oral tumor that does not often invade the underlying bone?
peripheral odontogenic fibromas
How do cats tolerate mandibulectomy?
Not well - usually need to have reconstruction (compared to dogs which reconstruction is not recommended due to high rate of complications)
What are the most common complications from maxillectomy?
Blood loss and hypotension
