Idexx full report attached. JL Immunohistochemistry Report3/6/2026 1:07 PMIMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY RESULTS:Melan A: The neoplastic cells show negative labelling. Positive control – positive labelling of intracytoplasmic granules, correlate with melanin containing cells.Sox 10: The neoplastic cells show negative labelling. Positive control – positive labelling of intracytoplasmic granules, correlate with melanin containing cells.INTERPRETATION, COMMENTS:The IHC results are not compatible with oral melanoma in this case.Based on the overall findings thus far, an oral plasmacytoma is the favoured diagnosis. Please refer to the previous comments for more information on oral plasmacytomas.A plasma cell marker (MUM1) may be considered if deemed necessary. (A second opinion was obtained from Dr C Sprohnle-Barrera)(For lab: 2IHCA1, MUM1, block A)--- 06/03/2026 12:52:10 DBN:Ö informedAdvise sx consult with Southpaws Vital Signs

Idexx full report attached BWOral extramedullary plasmacytomaHistologic margins not clearTypically this type of tumour is usually benign however there is a slight concern due to the slightly higher than normal mitotic activity and invasive behaviour described clinically. If bony invasion or if lymph nodes enlarged this warrants further investigation. Oral melanoma with plasmacytoid morphology is a possible but unlikely ddxImmunohistochemistry could be considered if funds allow to exclude melanoma and confirm plasmacytoma--- 26/02/2026 17:57:49 KAF:Discussed above results with O. Kathy is happy to go ahead with IHC test for peace of mind.27/2/26 - Rang O - advised dont' have results for IHS yet and knowing more will allow differentiating what tumour we have and how it might be affecting her. Appetite remains poor. Offer smorgasborg. Interpret low appetite in light of dx.Still awaiting full report 5/3 - advised it was sent off two days ago and may take up to 10 days Vital Signs
