A 3.5 yr old male neutered ferret presented with progressive enlargement of a right dorsocaudal skull mass that had occurred over 18 mo. Computed tomography imaging revealed a large (2.4 × 2.7 cm), well-defined, pedunculated osseous mass arising from the right parietal bone. Cytology was inconclusive, and surgical biopsy was consistent with an osteoma. Further enlargement of the mass occurred over the next 3 mo, at which time surgical intervention was pursued. The patient recovered well, despite the persistence of a bony defect at the former mass site, and no mass regrowth occurred in the 14 mo following the surgical resection. This is one of only two reports in the literature to document the surgical removal of an osteoma in a ferret, and this is the sole case in which a custom apparatus was fabricated for head stabilization, a multiaxis adjustable surgical table was used to improve access to the surgical site, and an ultrasonic scalpel was used for the mass resection.
一只 3.5 岁雄性去势雪貂出现了右背侧头骨肿块进行性增大的情况，该肿块已经存在了 18 个月。计算机断层扫描成像显示，一个 2.4×2.7 厘米大小的、界限清楚的、有蒂的骨肿块起源于顶骨右侧。细胞学检查结果不确定，手术活检结果符合骨瘤。在接下来的 3 个月中，肿块进一步增大，此时进行了手术干预。尽管在前肿块部位仍存在骨缺损，但患者恢复良好，在手术切除后 14 个月内未发生肿块复发。这是文献中仅有的两例记录雪貂骨瘤手术切除的报告之一，也是唯一一例为头部稳定制作定制仪器、使用多轴可调节手术台改善手术部位进入、以及使用超声刀进行肿块切除的病例。
