Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old Siberian husky was brought in because of a noticeable mass in the front part of its jaw. X-rays showed irregular bone and that the teeth were pushed out of place. After a biopsy, the mass was identified as a grade I multilobular tumor of bone. The dog underwent surgery to remove the affected part of the jaw, and 14 months later, a follow-up exam showed that the dog healed well with no signs of the tumor coming back.

Abstract
An 8-year-old Siberian husky dog was presented for a mass involving the rostral mandible. Intraoral radiographs demonstrated diffusely irregular bone and displacement of all mandibular incisor teeth. The mass was diagnosed as a grade I multilobular tumor of bone based on incisional biopsy. A bilateral rostral mandibulectomy was performed with tumor negative margins. Oral examination at 14-months following surgery indicated normal healing with minimal side effects and no evidence of tumor recurrence.
