A 13-year-old, female Llama presented for evaluation of a limbal based corneal mass involving the OD of 4 months duration. The mass was excised en bloc by a nonpenetrating keratectomy, followed by placement of a conjunctival advancement flap covering the keratectomy site. The mass was submitted for histological evaluation. Histopathology identified the mass to be a corneal epithelial inclusion cyst filled with necrotic squamous and neutrophilic debris. Surgical excision was complete and considered curative with no signs of recurrence 3 months postoperatively. There was no known prior ocular trauma; however, a previously performed corneal biopsy for evaluation of recurrent epithelial erosions may have been an initiating cause.
一只13岁的雌性美洲驼因右眼角膜缘处有一持续4个月的肿物前来评估。通过非穿透性角膜切除术将肿物整块切除，随后放置结膜推进瓣覆盖角膜切除部位。肿物被送去做组织学评估。组织病理学检查确定肿物为角膜上皮包涵囊肿，内充满坏死的鳞状上皮和中性粒细胞碎屑。手术切除彻底，术后3个月无复发迹象，被认为是治愈性的。既往无已知眼部外伤史；然而，之前为评估复发性上皮糜烂而进行的角膜活检可能是引发原因。
