Dacryops of the Third Eyelid in a cat
2016
A 9‐month‐old female Domestic Short‐haired cat was presented with a mass of three‐month duration at the base of the third eyelid of the right eye (OD). Fine‐needle aspiration was carried out at another clinic, revealing clear fluid. The mass soon reformed, and the cat was referred. Ophthalmic examination revealed a pale‐pink, smooth, oval mass under the conjunctiva on the anterior aspect of the third eyelid. Surgical removal of the mass was performed. Histopathology revealed a large dilated cyst together with a number of small cysts lined by simple cuboidal, and low squamous epithelium with some secretory cells. Dacryops of the third eyelid lacrimal gland was diagnosed. The eye healed uneventfully after surgery, and no recurrence was seen during one year of follow‐up.
