Fracture-associated osteogenic sarcoma and a mandibular osteoma in two goats.
An osteogenic sarcoma in association with a previously repaired fracture site and an osteoma were recorded in two aged Toggenburg and Toggenburg-cross goats. In one animal, five years after the surgical repair of a comminuted mid-shaft humeral fracture with an intramedullary pin, a sarcoma with osteoid production developed at the fracture site. A review of records revealed the previous occurrence of a mandibular osteoma inducing both subluxation of the temporal mandibular joint and contralateral mandibular deviation in a second animal. Such lesions are rarely documented in goats.
