RESUMO
A 9-year-old castrated male pitbull dog was presented for evaluation of a subconjunctival swelling of 10 days duration. On ophthalmic examination, a subcutaneous mass was identified at the right lateral canthus. An excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathological analysis confirmed a diagnosis of a subcutaneous fibroma. Eleven months after surgical excision, the dog had no evidence of recurrence. Fibroma should be included in the differential diagnosis of rapidly enlarging eyelid masses.
Fibrome canthal latéral chez un chien. Un pitbull mâle castré de 9 ans a été présenté pour l'évaluation d'une enflure sous-conjonctivale d'une durée de 10 jours. A l'examen ophtalmique, une masse sous-cutanée a été identifiée au canthus latéral droit. Une biopsie excisionnelle a été réalisée et l'analyse histopathologique a confirmé le diagnostic de fibrome sous-cutané. Onze mois après l'excision chirurgicale, le chien n'avait aucun signe de récidive. Le fibrome doit être inclus dans le diagnostic différentiel des masses palpébrales qui grossissent rapidement.(Traduit par Dr Serge Messier).

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical course and outcome of canine SCCEDs treated with a combination of cotton-tip debridement (CTD), scalpel blade debridement (SBD), and superficial grid keratotomy (SGK). METHODS: Medical records of dogs diagnosed with SCCED and treated by the same diplomate (FJO) from 2011 to 2019 were reviewed. Age, breed, sex, affected eye, time of onset before treatment, previous procedures performed, time to healing, need for a second treatment, and complications were reported. RESULTS: A total of 308 eyes (291 dogs) met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. All dogs received the same treatment (CTD + SBD + SGK) and the same topical medication (tobramycin 0.3% solution and sodium chloride 5% ointment). All eyes healed. Mean age at presentation was 9 years and 6 months (114.4 ± SD 28.0 months), and Boxer was the most common breed (93/308; 30.2%). Mean corneal healing time was 11.5 days (±SD 6.6). Complications occurred in 15/308 (4.9%) eyes. The three main complications observed were infected epithelial ulcer, infected stromal ulcer, and melting corneal ulcer, and 7/15 (46.7%) of the complications were diagnosed in Boston Terrier. Healing occurred after one treatment in 299/308 (97.1%) eyes, and the remaining cases needed a second treatment. CONCLUSIONS: CTD + SBD + SGK is an inexpensive and efficient treatment for SCCED in dogs. Boston Terrier may be at higher risk of developing complications following this procedure.
