Epulis and its surgical treatment in a Spitz bitch

One Spitz bitch of about 7 years of age with pedunculated soft tissue mass at upper left corner molar teeth was presented. Local excision under Atropine - Xylazine - Ketamine - Diazepam combined administration was performed with red hot iron thermo-cauterization. The excised mass on histopathology showed squamous hyperplasia with fibrous network and angiogenesis interpreting fibrous epulis. No recurrence was observed or no chemotherapy was needed up to one year postoperation.
