A 4.5-year-old female bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) presented for periorbital swelling affecting the left eye. A well-organized, hypoechoic mass was noted ventral and medial to the globe on ocular ultrasound. The mass continued to grow despite antibiotic therapy, and an exenteration was performed. The mass was diagnosed via histopathology and immunohistochemical staining as a probable lacrimal gland carcinoma, although a Harderian gland origin could not definitively be ruled out. The tumor recurred following removal, and the lizard died 2 months postoperatively.
一只4.5岁的雌性鬃狮蜥(鬃狮蜥)因左眼眶周肿胀前来就诊。眼部超声检查发现眼球腹侧和内侧有一个边界清晰的低回声肿块。尽管进行了抗生素治疗,肿块仍持续生长,遂进行了眼球摘除术。通过组织病理学和免疫组化染色,该肿块被诊断为可能的泪腺癌,尽管不能完全排除睑板腺起源。肿瘤切除后复发,蜥蜴在术后2个月死亡。
