Feline Malignant Melanoma

Abstract

History: A 5-year-old female spayed domestic shorthair initially presented to oncology services for a 4-month history of a subcutaneous mass on the right side of the mandible that extended into the mouth. The right eyeball had been previously enucleated one year prior due to an undisclosed reason. At presentation, the animal was having difficulty eating and breathing. Due to concerns for quality of life, humane euthanasia was elected.
