Plain-English summary
A 10-month-old spayed female domestic shorthaired cat was brought to the vet because of a mass in her mouth. After testing, the vet diagnosed it as an oral sarcoid linked to a virus typically found in cattle. The mass went away on its own after the vet performed a small biopsy, and it had not returned even 10 months later.

Abstract
A 10-month-old, domestic shorthaired, spayed female cat was presented to the Veterinary Medical Centre, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, for evaluation of an oral mucosal mass. Histopathology and polymerase chain reaction with sequencing allowed for a definitive diagnosis of bovine papillomavirus type-14-associated oral sarcoid. The mass resolved spontaneously following incisional biopsy and was still grossly absent 10 months later.
