Papillary squamous cell carcinoma in a young dog.
A rostral maxillectomy was performed to remove an intraoral growth in a 9-month-old Labrador retriever dog. The growth was initially diagnosed from a biopsy sample as an acanthomatous epulis. The opinions of several pathologists were obtained postoperatively and a final diagnosis of papillary squamous cell carcinoma was made.
