Plain-English summary
This study looked at unusual tumors that were found in the jaws of three cats and one dog. These tumors are similar to a type of tumor seen in humans called calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors. The tumors were identified by specific features, including groups of epithelial cells, small round structures made of a protein called amyloid, and areas of hardening or calcification. The researchers also talked about how these tumors develop and how they behave. Overall, the findings help us understand these rare tumors in pets better.
Abstract
Neoplasms histologically similar to calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT) of man are described in three cats and a dog. The diagnostic features of these neoplasms are their occurrence in the jaw and the histological appearance of cords of epithelial cells, amyloid spherules and foci of calcification. The histogenesis and behaviour of the tumour are discussed.
