Descrição clínico-cirúrgica de seis casos de maxilectomia parcial para o tratamento de neoplasia em cavidade oral em cães

Abstract

This paper describes the clinical approach of six cases of dogs with tumors in the maxilla and their surgical treatment, by removing of the masses through partial maxillectomy technique. Physical examination, blood tests, skull radiography and chest were performed. The dogs were anesthetized and resection of oral masses were performed in block. Higher incidence in females was observed. 66% of the tumors were malignant. Local recurrence was observed in 50% of patients, but only in dogs with malignant tumors. The use of other therapies associated with maxillectomy in the treatment of malignant tumors in the oral cavity is suggested.
