Abstract
Six cases of oral adamantinoma (4 in dogs, 2 in cats) are described. This is a rare tumor which arises from vestigial layers of the dental laminae in the gingiva, particularly of the mandible. This locally aggressive lesion must not be confused with the much more common squamous cell carcinoma.
