Abstract

Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma (POF) is a benign neoplasm originating from oral mesenchymal cells, affecting gingival, pharyngeal and, seldom, esophageal tissues. In the veterinary literature, there is a greater recurrence in large and medium-sized dogs, however, it can affect all breeds. This work reports a case of diagnosis and treatment of POF in the mandibular region of a castrated female French Bulldog, highlighting what alterations could be noticed in blood tests, methods of confirming the type of lesion and details on the tumor’s excision and the animal’s recovery.
