Oral melanomas commonly occur in elderly dogs resulting in darkly pigmented areas of the mouth, tongue and gums. The main object of this study was a severe melanoma diagnosed in the jaw of a 15-year-old dog and its palliative treatment with electrochemotherapy. The tumour spread throughout the jaw including bones. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) with bleomycin and calcium solution (CaCl2) was combined with standard and CO2 laser surgeries. The treatment resulted in good local control of the tumour mass after one ECT session with bleomycin and a second ECT session with calcium ions solution. ECT significantly reduced bleeding and enhanced success of the surgery. The combination of ECT with surgical debulking resulted in rapid recovery and regaining of physiological activities, including normal feeding by the dog. This case demonstrates that the protocol combining ECT and surgery is promising in palliative melanoma treatment.

V prispevku opisujemo primer paliativnega zdravljenja obsežnega melanoma na podrocju spodnje celjusti 15-letnega psa z elektrokemoterapijo. Tumorska masa se je vrascala tudi v spodaj ležeco kost. Delno kirursko odstranitev tumorske mase s klasicno in CO2 lasersko kirursko metodo smo dopolnili z elektrokemoterapijo z bleomicinom in z raztopino kalcijevega klorida (CaCl2). S kombinacijo terapij smo dosegli dobro lokalno kontrolo tumorja. Elektrokemoterapija neposredno po kirurskem posegu je tudi mocno zmanjsala krvavitev. Pes je po posegu okreval hitro ob ohranitvi vseh fizioloskih funkcij, vkljucno z normalnim hranjenjem. Delna kirurska resekcija v kombinaciji z elektrokemoterapijo bi bila lahko alternativna možnost paliativnega zdravljenja oralnega melanoma.
