Fibrosarcoma oral
El fibrosarcoma oral es un tumor maligno del tejido conectivo fibroso de la boca y uno de los cánceres orales más frecuentes del gato despuĂ©s del carcinoma de cĂ©lulas escamosas. Es localmente agresivo, invadiendo las encĂas y el hueso mandibular, y tiende a recurrir tras la extirpaciĂłn, aunque metastatiza relativamente despacio. La cirugĂa amplia y temprana ofrece el mejor control.
