Abstract
A 9-year-old, intact female Jindo dog weighing 23 kg was presented to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University with a history of two months of ocular discharge. Initial ocular examination showed a 2 cm elongated mass arising from the ventral bulbar conjunctiva of the left eye. Ocular ultrasound, performed to rule out any orbital and intraocular involvement, was negative. Thoracic radiographs and abdominal ultrasonography revealed no abnormalities. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) of mass was performed. Aspiration cytology showed the presence of a round cell population mostly characterized. A moderate amount of eosinophils was present among round cells. The mass was excised and identified hitologically as a mast cell tumor. Six months after surgical treatment, thoracic radiographs and abdominal ultrasonography did not reveal any clinical signs of local recurrence or metastatic disease.
