title: [Treatment of malignant epulis in dogs].
abstract: The successful radiotherapy of malignant epulis in a 12 year-old Dachshund is discussed. Regrowth of the tumour, which was first removed by surgery, was treated with radiotherapy over a period of 36 days in 3 fractions. The total dose was 1800 rads. The lesion healed uneventfully. After 600 days, there was still no new growth but only scar tissue to be seen.
