Ranula in a female. A ranula usually presents as a translucent, blue, dome-shaped, fluctuant swelling in the tissues of the floor of the mouth. If the lesion is deeper, then there is a greater thickness of tissue separating from the oral cavity and the blue translucent appearance may not be a feature.
Whereas dogs often appear healthy initially except for swollen lymph nodes, cats will often be physically ill. The symptoms correspond closely to the location of the lymphoma. The most common sites for alimentary (gastrointestinal) lymphoma are, in decreasing frequency, the small intestine , the stomach , the junction of the ileum , cecum , and ...
1: Submental lymph nodes 2: Submandibular lymph nodes 3: Supraclavicular lymph nodes 4: Retropharyngeal lymph nodes 5: Buccinator lymph node 6: Superficial cervical lymph nodes 7: Jugular lymph nodes 8: Parotid lymph nodes 9: Retroauricular lymph nodes and occipital lymph nodes
The most common cause of enlargement of the submental lymph nodes are infections (including viral infections (mononucleosis, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and cytomegaloviral infections), toxoplasmosis, and dental infections (e.g. periodontitis)). [1] The lymph nodes may be affected by metastatic spread from cancers of their drained territories ...
The facial lymph nodes comprise three groups: (a) infraorbital or maxillary , scattered over the infraorbital region from the groove between the nose and cheek to the zygomatic arch ; (b) buccinator , one or more placed on the buccinator muscle opposite the angle of the mouth;
The most common form in dogs is multicentric, involving the lymph nodes. [165] Fibrosarcoma is a malignant tumor that most commonly occurs in the mouth in dogs, and less commonly in the skin, subcutis, and bones. [6] Aggressive fibromatosis, also known as desmoid fibromatosis, a type of non-metastasizing soft-tissue sarcoma, may occur in dogs ...

The tumor does not often metastasize (occurring in about less than 5 percent of cases), [16] except in puppies and immunocompromised dogs. Metastasis occurs to regional lymph nodes, [citation needed] but can also be seen in the skin, brain, eye, liver, spleen, testicle, rectum and muscle. [17] A biopsy is necessary for diagnosis.
