Objective: In this lecture, the diagnostic approach to oral masses will be reviewed, including staging with oral tumor work-up. Different approaches to oral tumor biopsy will be emphasized. Mass diagnoses (benign versus malignant), treatment decisions, and treatment modalities will be reviewed. The overall goal of this discussion is to empower veterinarians to become more comfortable with potential diagnoses for oral masses and how to best ascertain a definitive diagnosis, which ultimately informs treatment options and prognosis for their cat and dog patients.
