Subconjunctival hibernoma in a dog

Manhattan – mechentel news – A 10-year-old, castrated male, German Shepherd mixed-breed dog was presented to J. A. Stucky and his team in the Kansas State University Veterinary Health Center for evaluation of a subconjunctival swelling in the ventral fornix of the left orbit. The owner elected to pursue excision of the mass 2 years after initial consultation following a sudden change in the size and color of the lesion. An excisional biopsy was performed, and the mass along with its associated capsule were submitted to the Comparative Ocular Pathology Laboratory of Wisconsin for histopathologic evaluation, which confirmed the diagnosis of a hibernoma. The autors Stuckey et al. concluded in the january issue of Veterinary ophthalmology that aftere fourteen months following excision, the patient showed no evidence of tumor regrowth.(um)
