4571. The left ear tumour looked cancerous. The owner did not want the ear lobe removed, just the tumour.

 

VET CASE V 2/2. 

26 JAN 2023:
The smelly left ear tumour was removed under anaesthetic by Dr Daniel Sing 2 weeks ago. The lady owner did not want the whole ear lobe plus tumour removed as advised by me. My reason was that the large tumour looked cancerous and could have had spread further. It will recur if cancerous. Removal of the ear lobe and tumour would save the owner money and stress. Since no biopsy is done pre-op and no histology of the tumour is done post-op (to save medical costs), I cannot be 100% sure. If cancerous, the ear tumour will recur within 8 weeks.
