    Infiltrative Odontogenic Fibroma (IOF) in a young dog treated with hemimandibulectomy

    This is a Infiltrative Odontogenic Fibroma (IOF) in a young 2 yo male dog. Treatment of choice was hemimandibulectomy. Good recovery and started eating 2 hours after surgery. Fig. 1. CT evidence of bone infiltration of the fibroma Fig. 2. Xray of the hemimandible after surgery. Note the bone infiltration Fig. 3.

    A case of CAA (Canine Acanthomatous Ameloblastoma) ina 10 yo dog

    CAA (Canine Acabthomatous Ameloblastoma) is a common tumor in dogs with 45.5% of situations affecting rostral mandible. This the case of a male dog, castrated, 10 yo with a large mandibular tumor with bone invasion as seen on CT scan. Curative intent surgery implies a bilateral rostral mandibulectomy. Clean margins after surgery, good cosmesis, good function and a cured old dog. Fig.1. X-ray of the mandible after resection with the bone invasion clearly visible Fig. 2. CT scan of the same dog, note the bone invasion of the CAA Fig. 3. Large CAA affecting the rostral mandible Fig. 4. Mandibular canal after osteotomy and use of bone wax. Fig. 5.…

    Resection of ileocolic junction in a cat with Feline gastrointestinal eosinophilic sclerosing fibroplasia (FGESF)

    The resection of the ileocolic junction (ICJR) leads to the loss of regulation of both anterograde and retrograde reflux. The loss of anterograde resistance can potentially result in diarrhea, nutrient malabsorption, and even dehydration due to accelerated chyme transit. Resection of the ileocolic junction (ICJ) is sometimes performed alongside the resection of the terminal ileum. Bile acids and cobalamin are reabsorbed in the ileum; therefore, if a significant portion of the ileum is resected along with the ICJ, bile salt malabsorption, intestinal dysbiosis, and hypocobalaminemia may occur, potentially causing chronic diarrhea. FGESF presents as eosinophilic masses that are associated with the gastrointestinal tract and associated abdominal lymph nodes, often localized…

    A case of Oral Papillary Squamous Carcinoma in a dog treated with rostral maxillectomy

    This type of Carcinoma is affecting more the young dogs and carries a significant danger of invasion in the surrounding tissues, even bone tissue. After complete excision recurrence is not likely and there are no reports of distant metastasis. Because it is still a type of carcinoma, excision is often involving the bone in order to achieve complete excision and clean margins. This is a case of a large breed dog treated with rostral maxillectomy, complete excision, clean margins and no recurrence. Oral Squamous Carcinoma, Papillary Type Maxillectomy for complete excision of a Squamous Carcinoma, papillary type in a dog Local view after maxillary bone and carcinoma are removed View…

    Steps for genicular artery axial pattern flap in dogs undergoing MCT surgery

    Mast Cell Tumor-MCT is a well known cancer in dogs, having malign potential on all grades and has a specific surgical requirements. Most of the times MCT is located in difficult body areas prompting both a large surgical dose and reconstructive surgery. In this case, one dog was diagnosed with a MCT in the lateral aspect of the left stifle. Initially the dog received a short steroidal treatment and the MCT reduced size. As a result, the MCT was 2.5 cm wide and 2 cm lateral margins were considered along with an intact deep fascial plane. First, as a precautionary measure, the reconstructive plan is put in place and an…
