Oral Plasmacytoma in a Dog

Vet Sci. 2017 Dec 14;4(4):68. doi: 10.3390/vetsci4040068.

Abstract

A 6-year-old male Pit bull mix dog presented for bleeding from the mouth persisting for five days. A clinical evaluation revealed a 2 × 3 cm soft tissue mandibular mass at the crown of the first premolar, as well as a non-regenerative anemia and hyperproteinemia. Cytologic and histopathologic evaluations of the mass were compatible with an oral plasmacytoma.

Keywords: mandibular mass; neoplasia; oral; plasmacytoma.
