Orofacial masses in domestic rabbits: a retrospective review of 120 cases from 2 institutions, 2000-2023.

ABSTRACT: Orofacial masses or swellings are a common presenting complaint in lagomorphs. Similar gross appearances of the masses can complicate clinical interpretation, and histologic review often provides the final diagnosis. Underlying causes vary from infectious to neoplastic.

All final diagnoses were achieved through histologic assessment. We in
