BACKGROUND/AIM: A feline inductive odontogenic tumor (FIOT) is a rare type of tumor that is unique to young cats.
Herein, we report on three cats (aged 6 months to 2.5 years) that had a bulging mass on the maxilla. On diagnostic imaging, cases 1 and 3 had bone expansion in the affected area, and all three cats were diagnosed with FIOT by histological examination. Maxillectomy and/or incisivectomy techniques were performed according to the tumor site with an intended surgical margin of 5 mm. To increase both precision and safety, a piezoelectric surgical instrument was used. The local advancement flaps were used to repair the surgical sites. The surgical outcomes were excellent, and there were no major complications related to the surgery or tumor recurrences during long-term follow-up (3-5 years) for any of the cats.
The results from this study were excellent, which may have been due in part to the choice of the surgical instrument that allowed for the implementation of precise and accurate surgical excision and the tension-free flap method for preventing dehiscence of the surgical site.
背景/目的:猫诱导性牙源性肿瘤(FIOT)是一种罕见的肿瘤,仅发生于幼猫。
本文报告了 3 只(6 月龄至 2.5 岁)上颌部有膨隆肿块的猫。在诊断性影像学检查中,病例 1 和 3 显示受累区域有骨膨胀,所有 3 只猫均通过组织学检查诊断为 FIOT。根据肿瘤部位采用上颌切除术和/或切齿切除术,手术切缘为 5mm。为了提高精确性和安全性,使用了压电手术器械。局部推进瓣用于修复手术部位。手术结果良好,在对所有猫进行 3-5 年的长期随访中,没有与手术相关的重大并发症或肿瘤复发。
本研究的结果非常出色,这可能部分归因于手术器械的选择,该器械允许进行精确和准确的手术切除,并采用无张力瓣法预防手术部位裂开。
