Article Synopsis
- A rare myxoid intraocular neoplasm originating from the ciliary body was discovered in a 14-year-old female cat, characterized by a bubble-shaped mass that led to secondary glaucoma and necessitated enucleation.
- Histological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed a multinodular hypocellular neoplasm with strong cytokeratin and vimentin reactivity, suggesting an epithelioid myxosarcoma diagnosis.
- The case highlights the need to consider epithelioid myxosarcoma in differential diagnoses for feline intraocular tumors and stresses the importance of early surgical intervention to prevent further complications.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of pre-iridal monocellular and fibrovascular membranes in dogs with different types of glaucoma, and to explore how these membranes relate to factors like breed and age.
- The research involved analyzing records of 108 dogs that had their eyes removed due to glaucoma, categorizing them into three groups based on the type of glaucoma.
- Results indicated that monocellular membranes were most prevalent in primary glaucoma cases, while fibrovascular membranes were more common in secondary glaucoma; however, there were no links between membrane types and the dogs' breed, gender, or age.
Article Synopsis
- - Chronic and acute forms of anterior uveitis linked to juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) show different characteristics, with chronic uveitis affecting younger females and acute uveitis predominantly impacting older males with enthesitis.
- - The study explored a model of JIA-associated uveitis in rats inoculated with a specific peptide (MAA) to analyze its effects on ocular inflammation, arthritis, and inflammatory markers.
- - Results revealed that all MAA-inoculated rats developed uveitis with specific ocular symptoms, but did not develop arthritis or ANA positivity, and there were no differences in outcomes based on the age or sex of the rats.
Blepharitis and Neoplasms of the Canine Eyelid Margin and Skin.
Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract
March 2023
Canine eyelid masses (tumors) should include the differential clinical diagnoses of neoplasia and blepharitis. They have many common clinical signs including tumor, alopecia, and hyperemia. Biopsy and histologic examination remains the most effective diagnostic test to establish a confirmed diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
