Plain-English summary
A dog was diagnosed with a rare tumor called ganglioneuroblastoma in its mouth. This type of tumor is thought to come from nerve cells that are not in their usual place. It's the first time this specific tumor has been reported in a dog's oral cavity. Treatment options weren't detailed in the study, but if your dog has similar symptoms, it's important to consult your veterinarian for the best course of action.
