Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old cat was brought in because it had been drooling and bleeding from the mouth for a month. The vet found a mass in the cat's jaw, and a CT scan showed abnormal growth in the bone. A biopsy confirmed it was a vascular hamartoma, which is a type of benign tumor. Unfortunately, the cat passed away about 140 days after the diagnosis.
