Update on Severe Stomatitis, CUPS and Tongue Masses in a Boxer Dog

UPDATE: Lymphoma was the diagnosis based upon histopathology.  Further staging would involve immunohistochemical stains to determine B cell vs T cell lymphoma.  Chemotherapy is an option in these cases.  This dog was humanely euthanized.

Severe Stomatitis, CUPS and Tongue Masses in a Boxer Dog

This 7 year old boxer dog presented with severe generalized stomatitis.  CUPS lesions were also present.  The tongue had multiple raised masses with palpable densities throughout.  Biopsies were taken.  Neoplasia is suspected.  I will update this post when pathology is complete.

Cat Mandibulectomy

This cat presented with profound disfigurement from a rostral mandibular mass.  Salvage excision and euthanasia were the options provided.  The mass was excised and postoperative and next day images shown.  This cat has full tongue function despite taking the mandible back to the level of the first molars at the base of the tongue.  He is learning how to eat and doing quite well 3 days postop.
