Multilobular tumor of bone arising from the palatomaxillary suture line in the skull of a dog.

A 6-year-old neutered male bloodhound dog was presented for surgical evaluation of an intraoral hard palate mass noted during a routine dental cleaning performed by the primary veterinarian. Computed tomography (CT) of the skull revealed a well-defined, multilobular, mineralized mass with a coarse, granular appearance, centered along the palatomaxillary suture extending into both the nasal and oral cavities. Bilateral caudal maxillectomy was performed for curative-intent resection of the tumor.
