Tumours of the third eyelid in 47 dogs and five cats were examined histopathologically. The clinical observations leading to the tumour diagnosis are presented. The tumours were seen more frequently in the dachshund breed, the affected cats belonged to the European Short-hair breed. The diagnosed tumours of the third eyelid could be histologically classified as adenomas and adenocarcinomas of the gland of the third eyelid, malignant melanomas, squamous cell papillomas and carcinomas of the nictitating membrane, several soft tissue tumours and some cases of pseudoneoplastic hypertrophy of the gland of the third eyelid. Local recurrence of tumour occurred in eight dogs and two cats after resection. Tumour metastasis was confirmed in three dogs. The clinical procedure recommended for avoidance of recurrence is discussed. The differential diagnosis of the malignancies of the third eyelid is described. Questionnaires were designed for the animal owners in an attempt to identify etiopathogenetically important factors, the results of which are discussed.
对47只犬和5只猫的第三眼睑肿瘤进行了组织病理学检查。介绍了导致肿瘤诊断的临床观察结果。肿瘤在腊肠犬品种中更常见，受影响的猫属于欧洲短毛猫品种。经组织学诊断，第三眼睑肿瘤可分为第三眼睑腺腺瘤和腺癌、恶性黑色素瘤、瞬膜鳞状细胞乳头状瘤和癌、几种软组织肿瘤以及一些第三眼睑腺假性肿瘤性肥大病例。8只犬和2只猫在切除术后出现肿瘤局部复发。在3只犬中证实有肿瘤转移。讨论了为避免复发而推荐的临床操作。描述了第三眼睑恶性肿瘤的鉴别诊断。为动物主人设计了问卷，试图确定病因学上的重要因素，并对结果进行了讨论。
