Abstract

The feline lymphoplasmacytic gingivostomatitis is a common chronic condition in cats and it is characterized by inflammation, ulceration and proliferation of the soft tissues of the mouth. It’s one of the most common diseases in cats, as well as the periodontal disease. The clinical case described is about a three years old feline, female, that had been treated conservatively for about four months with medications (antibiotics and cortisone orally). With the recurrence of the lesions, the surgical treatment has been chosen, with removal of all molars and premolars of the animal, thus obtaining the resolution of the disease to date.
