    A large fibroma, a type of benign tumor, was found in an Indian python's lower jaw. Surgical removal provided a moderately successful treatment for this python jaw growth.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Herpetology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Fibromas are benign tumors that can affect various animal species.
    • Jaw growths in reptiles can present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To diagnose and describe a fibroma in the lower jaw of an Indian python (Python molurus).
    • To report on the treatment outcome of surgical excision for this specific case.

    Main Methods:

    • Biopsy sampling of the jaw growth for histopathological diagnosis.
    • Surgical excision of the fibroma.

    Main Results:

    • Biopsy confirmed the massive growth as a fibroma.
    • Surgical excision resulted in moderately satisfactory treatment outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Fibromas can occur in the jaws of Indian pythons.
    • Surgical intervention can be a viable treatment option for such conditions in reptiles.
