Multiple epulides, rare feline oral tumors, were diagnosed in 13 cats. These neoplasms frequently recurred after surgery but did not metastasize, indicating a need for careful monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Oncology
  • Feline Medicine

Background:

  • Epulides are a type of feline oral neoplasm, typically occurring as single lesions.
  • Previous literature reported no cases of multiple epulides in cats.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinicopathological features of multiple, concurrent epulides in cats.
  • To assess the recurrence and metastatic potential of these feline oral tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Histopathological examination of oral tumors from 13 cats diagnosed with multiple epulides.
  • Review of clinical records for recurrence and metastatic data post-surgical excision.

Main Results:

  • Multiple epulides were diagnosed in 13 cats, with fibromatous and ossifying types being most common (11/13).

  • Microscopically, these were nonencapsulated, infiltrative neoplasms with spindle-shaped cells and osseous foci.
  • Recurrence was observed in 8 of 13 cats following surgical removal; no metastatic cases were identified.

    • Conclusions:

    • Multiple epulides in cats, though uncommon, present a significant challenge due to high recurrence rates.
    • Despite their infiltrative nature, these feline oral tumors do not appear to have metastatic potential.
