This middle aged cat presented with drooling and a rostral oral mass.  Further evaluation revealed severe mandibular inflammation with “floating teeth” present.  Radiographs reveal destruction of bone surrounding the teeth of the left mandible.  The mass crosses the midline in the caudal oral cavity partially displacing the tongue.  Surgical cure is not possible.  Analgesic management has been instituted to provide a good quality of life until discomfort or anatomical problems warrant euthanasia.
