Abstract

A Ten-year-old male non-descript dog weighing 14.5 kg was presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC), Pookode, with the history of a mass protruding at the medial canthus of left eye with epiphora for the past few months. Physical examination revealed a bright pink mass with the surface ulcerated. Due to its chronic nature and ulcerative appearance, surgical resection was resorted to. Histopathology revealed variably sized tubular glands and inflammation and confirmed the condition as adenoma of the nictitans membrane gland. Animal recovered uneventfully.

Keywords : Adenoma, Canine, histopathology, Nictitans membrane gland
