Abstract
Canine oral lymphoma is an infrequently diagnosed malignancy in dogs and reports in the literature are lacking. Most cases are due to epitheliotropic lymphoma, in which lesions are often multifocal and involve the skin as well as the oral cavity. Epitheliotropic lymphoma is an uncommon form of lymphoma that is characterized by neoplastic T-lymphocyte tropism for epithelial tissues. However, not all cases of oral lymphoma are due to epitheliotropic lymphoma, and B-cell disease is also possible. This article describes very different cases of oral lymphoma in dogs including the history at presentation, examination and radiographic findings, treatments, and outcomes. The cases highlight the variability in signalment, examination findings, and clinical courses that are found with oral lymphoma.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Veterinary Dentistry (JOVD) is the official peer-reviewed publication of the Foundation for Veterinary Dentistry. The JOVD provides a continuing education forum for veterinary dental scientists, veterinarians, dentists, and veterinary/dental technicians and hygienists who are engaged in veterinary dental practice. JOVD articles provide practical and scientifically sound information covering not only the medical and surgical aspects, but also specific categories as they relate to clinical practice.
