An 11-month-old male castrated ferret was referred for evaluation of a 2-cm, hard, immobile subcutaneous mass ventral to the left ear. The mass progressively enlarged over a one-month period. Fine needle aspirate cytology at the referring facility noted a mineralized center but did not confirm a diagnosis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging identified a 1.56 cm × 1.4 cm × 1.6 cm monostotic bone lesion affecting the left mandible. The mass had a narrow base where it was attached to the mandible, resulting in a pedunculated appearance. A benign primary bone tumor was suspected and surgical debulking was performed one month later. Histopathology confirmed the mass was a mandibular osteoma with no evidence of malignancy. Due to incomplete surgical margins and a small amount of residual measureable disease, post-operative fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (8 Gy × 3 fractions with 100% of the dose delivered to 95% of the target volume) was performed one-month later. Three months after radiation, the owners did not report any clinical concerns about the ferret. No acute or early side effects were noted in the skin or mucous membranes. Recheck physical examination was unremarkable and computed tomography imaging did not reveal evidence of osteoma regrowth at the surgical site. Annual computed tomography scans are planned to ensure there is no regrowth over time or late side effects of radiation, if any. The present case describes successful management of an incompletely excised mandibular osteoma utilizing radiation therapy in a ferret. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
