MANDIBULECTOMIA ROSTRAL BILATERAL EM HUSKY SIBERIANO COM FIBROSSARCOMA: RELATO DE CASO

Abstract

Fibrosarcoma represents 7.5 to 25% of oral neoplasms in dogs. It is a malignant neoplasm with an aggressive and infiltrative character, but with moderate to low metastatic potential if diagnosed early. Fibrosarcoma can be primary or secondary, with the main and most efficient form of treatment being surgical intervention, which can be palliative or curative, depending on the extent and location of the tumor, but subject to post-surgical recurrence due to the persistence of tumor cells on the margins of the surgical wound. Mandibulectomy is one of the techniques used to control and treat oral tumors, with an acceptance rate of up to 80% by owners after surgery. The present work aims to report the performance of mandibulectomy in a dog, due to locoregional recurrence of fibrosarcoma.To this end, the surgical technique used will be described in an attempt to contain the evolution of the tumor, ensuring a better quality of life for the patient. To date, the treatment has proven effective.
