Abstract

A 15-year-old female appaloosa with an adherence between the upper and lower eyelids of the right eye was presented to our hospital. Ultrasonographically, a massive lesion with unhomogenous echogenicity had infiltrated into the bulbar conjunctiva and the following whole corpus vitreum, and was rich in blood vessels. The histopathological examination revealed a squamous cell carcinoma on the conjunctiva, and it was decided to conduct a transpalpebral eye enucleation. The diagnosis of the removed globe was ocular squamous cell carcinoma with deep intraorbital invasion, but the optical nerve was not affected.
