Like an Onion

A little while ago I saw another really cool oral papilloma. I have written about them before but I guess this particular papilloma didn't get the memo. Not only was it on an older dog, it was in the inner pinna (ear). Of course, the owner was quite concerned as it had grown at an incredible rate.

Was it ever fun to remove though! I used a hemostat and basically removed it one section at a time. The base was only 3mm in diameter. It did bleed a fair amount but Bobby looked very cute in his stockinette headband as he walked out the door.
