Plain-English summary
A 6-month-old Bassett Hound was brought in because of repeated oral bleeding and swelling on the right side of its face. The vet found that the swelling was linked to a discolored baby tooth and inflamed gums. Despite removing the tooth and trying antibiotics, the swelling didn't go away. Unfortunately, the owner chose to euthanize the dog, and further examination revealed that it had a maxillary hemangioma, which is a type of blood vessel tumor in the jawbone.

Abstract
A 6-month-old Bassett Hound dog presented for evaluation of recurrent oral bleeding and a right maxillary swelling. Oral examination revealed right maxillary enlargement extending from the level of the right maxillary canine tooth to the area of the second and third premolar teeth. A discolored persistent right maxillary deciduous canine tooth and gingival inflammation was noted. Biopsies taken at the time of extraction of the persistent deciduous canine tooth resulted in significant hemorrhage and a biopsy report of reactive bone. The right maxillary enlargement did not resolve following the extraction procedure and empirical antimicrobial therapy. The owner elected euthanasia and post-mortem evaluation. Histopathologic assessment provided a diagnosis of maxillary hemangioma.
