The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and therapeutic outcomes of canine oral tumors in Korea. Medical records of dogs presented with oral tumor at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University from 2002 to 2007 were reviewed. The predominant breeds were Yorkshire terrier (n=14), miniature poodle (n=7), Shih Tzu (n=6), and maltese (n=4), in order. The mean age at onset was years. The most common tumor types included fibrous epulis (n=13), malignant melanoma (n=12), acanthomatous epulis (n=4), and squamous cell carcinoma (n=3). Surgical removal was performed in 29 cases; simple excision in 18 cases, partial mandibulectomy in 8 cases, and partial maxillectomy in 3 dogs. Outcomes of surgery were various according to the tumor types. Prognosis of dogs with fibrous epulis and acanthomatous epulis was good and that of dogs with malignant melanoma was poor.
