A 2-month-old, male kitten was presented for evaluation of unilateral blepharospasm and epiphora involving the right eye. Ocular examination revealed conjunctivitis, a superficial corneal ulcer, reflex anterior uveitis and a haired mass within the dorsal cornea of the right eye. The mass was subsequently removed surgically via a lamellar keratectomy. Histologic evaluation of the mass via light microscopy revealed it to be comprised of normal-haired skin with mild inflammation. One week after surgical removal and medical management of the corneal ulcer, all ocular clinical signs had resolved with minimal corneal scarring. On re-examination 6 months following surgical excision of the mass, the kitten was noted to be comfortable with no significant corneal scarring.
To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a dorsally located corneal dermoid in a cat.
一只2个月大的雄性小猫因右眼单侧眼睑痉挛和流泪前来评估。眼部检查发现结膜炎、浅层角膜溃疡、反射性前葡萄膜炎以及右眼背侧角膜内有一个毛发团块。随后通过板层角膜切除术手术切除了该团块。通过光学显微镜对该团块进行组织学评估发现它由正常有毛皮肤和轻度炎症组成。角膜溃疡手术切除和药物治疗一周后,所有眼部临床症状均已消退,角膜瘢痕形成 minimal。在团块手术切除6个月后的复查中,发现小猫状况良好,无明显角膜瘢痕形成。
据我们所知,这是首例关于猫背侧角膜皮样瘤的病例报告。
