Abstract

A 10-year-9-month-old spayed female Shih Tzu was presented with ocular discharge and corneal opacity to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. Complete ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral keratoconjunctivitis sicca accompanied by the severe corneal neovascularization and edema in the right eye (OD). Ultrasound biomicroscopy incidentally showed an iridociliary mass located at 6~7 o'clock in the OD. No evidence of metastasis was observed on thoracic and abdominal radiography. Enucleation was selected and performed on the OD, considering the risk of metastasis or recurrence. Non-invasive and pigmented iridociliary adenoma was confirmed on histopathological evaluation.
