Malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity represent approximately 6% of all canine tumors
[
[1]
], and the incidence is lower in cats [
[2]
]. A variety of neoplastic lesions occur, including odontogenic and nonodontogenic
tumor types. Nonneoplastic masses, such as gingival hyperplasia and infectious conditions,
may be confused with oral tumors. Conversely, oral neoplasms may present as nonhealing
ulcerated lesions instead of “typical” prominent masses.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
