Large oral mass in a macaw

In surgery with the macaw with a large oral mass. It is attached to the edge of the choanal slit and we were worried we would not be able to remove it safely

Another interesting case! This macaw presented with an oral mass. We were fortunately able to remove it and histopathology showed great news - it was a benign tumor (fibroma) and surgery should be curative ❤️
