Plain-English summary
A group of 20 dogs with a diagnosis of a type of tumor called odontogenic sarcoma (a dental tumor) underwent surgery to remove the growths. These tumors were found to be hypercellular peripheral odontogenic fibromas, which means they had a lot of active cells but were not aggressive. After surgery, none of the dogs showed any signs of the tumors coming back, regardless of how much tissue was removed during the procedure. This suggests that surgical removal was effective in treating these tumors.

Abstract
Medical records of dogs with an initial histopathological diagnosis of odontogenic sarcoma were reviewed for information on signalment, body weight, medical history, clinical signs, physical examination and diagnostic imaging findings, surgical procedure performed, and histologic characteristics. Twenty dogs were deemed to fit the criteria following the rigorous histology review process. These tumors were characterized by hypercellularity of the spindle cell component with less intervening stroma, mitotic activity, and variable presence of odontogenic epithelium and hard substance (cementum/dentin/bone). Non-invasive or locally invasive hypercellular peripheral odontogenic fibroma is suggested by the authors to describe these tumors. There were no signs of recurrence of any of the masses following surgical excisions with varying margins.
