Summary

A ten-year-old cow developed a slow-growing oral mass causing facial swelling. Necropsy and histological findings confirmed the mass as a maxillary osteosarcoma.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Animal Oncology
  • Bovine Medicine

Background:

  • Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor that can occur in various species.
  • Maxillary osteosarcomas are rare in cattle, presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • Facial swelling in cattle can indicate underlying oral or bone pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a case of maxillary osteosarcoma in a beef suckler cow.
  • To detail the diagnostic process, including radiographic, clinicopathological, and necropsy findings.
  • To contribute to the understanding of rare bone tumors in production animals.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination and history taking.
  • Radiographic imaging of the affected maxilla.
  • Laboratory analysis including hematology and biochemistry.

  • Gross necropsy and histopathological examination of the oral mass.

    • Main Results:

    • A ten-year-old beef suckler cow presented with progressive facial swelling.
    • Radiographic and clinicopathological findings were suggestive of a bone lesion.
    • Necropsy and histopathology confirmed a maxillary osteosarcoma with displaced teeth.

    Conclusions:

    • Maxillary osteosarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of facial swelling in cattle.
    • Multimodal diagnostic approaches are crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • This case highlights the importance of thorough investigation for rare neoplastic conditions in production animals.
