A 1-year-old mixed-breed cat was referred for an approximately 2-cm mass centered on the upper right canine tooth. Computed tomography (CT) revealed the lesion extended to the nasal cavity and orbit, causing thinning and expansion of the adjacent cortical bone. Excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a feline inductive odontogenic tumor. Based on the findings of CT imaging, the primary alveolar bone lesion was removed with the tumor, while the adjacent bones, which had been expanded and thinned, were preserved by marginal resection including the surrounding periosteum-like membrane. No local recurrence was observed for seven years. To validate the therapeutic outcome of this case, further research in diagnostic imaging and pathology will be crucial.
