1 Ocular Neoplasia Bumps in, on, and behind the eye Daniel M. Dorbandt, DVM Ophthalmology Resident University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Topic Outline & Objectives Ocular & periocular masses Eyelids 3 rd eyelid Cornea & sclera Uvea Orbit Exophthalmos vs buphthalmos Differential diagnoses Suggestive findings Treatment options Feline-specific ocular masses Early Detection and Treatment is Key 1

2 Early Detection and Treatment is Key One month later Dogs Meibomian gland adenoma - Minimally invasive % are benign - Low rate of metastasis - Responsive to therapy - Cryotherapy or surgery Melanoma Cats - Majority are malignant - If it s important enough to remove, it s important enough to submit. 2

3 Meibomian gland neoplasia - Located on eyelid margin Meibomian gland neoplasia - Continued monitoring - Surgical excision or cryo Meibomian gland neoplasia - Surgical excision - 10% recurrence House resection From: Slatter s Fundamentals of Veterinary Ophthalmology 5 th Edition Limits of surgical excision - Affects less than 33% of lid length - Exception in longer lids 3

4 Meibomian gland neoplasia - Surgical excision - 10% recurrence H-plasty From: Slatter s Fundamentals of Veterinary Ophthalmology 5 th Edition Meibomian gland neoplasia - Debulk and cryotherapy - 15% recurrence Papilloma Squamous papilloma - Cauliflower-like appearance 4

5 Papilloma Squamous papilloma - Similar therapy & prognosis as meibomian gland tumors Papilloma Squamous papilloma cryotherapy - Surgical resection or debulking with cryotherapy Histiocytoma - Young dogs - Tan to pink, alopecic mass - Spontaneous regression - Surgical resection or cryo BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG = BAD 5

6 Melanoma - Darkly pigmented, smooth - Possible to be on lid margin Melanoma - Surgical resection or cryo - Prognosis is good (metastasize?) Mast cell tumor - Comes and goes - Mast cells on cytology Photo courtesy of Dr. Anne Barger 6

7 Mast cell tumor - Surgical resection is best - Intralesional triamcinolone - Exenteration with rotational skin graft - 1 mg triamcinolone diluted in 1 ml 0.45% NaCl may recur Triamcinolone causes apoptosis Hypotonic saline causes lysis Cutaneous lymphoma - Locally extensive, irregular - Often ulcerated Diagnosis - Often requires biopsy vs cytology - Rule out auto-immune skin disease Cutaneous lymphoma - Surgery (reconstructive) if focal - Medical if metastatic 7

8 Impacted meibomian gland - Lance and extrude material - Neo/poly/dex ointment BID-TID - Prolapsed gland - Everted cartilage - Follicular hyperplasia 3 rd - Signalment can help determine the diagnosis Adenoma Adenocarcinoma - Prolapsed gland - Everted cartilage - Follicular hyperplasia 3 rd - Older dogs - Progressively growing mass - Multilobular appearance - Entire 3 rd eyelid visible - May have exophthalmos 8

9 Adenoma Adenocarcinoma - Prolapsed gland - Everted cartilage - Follicular hyperplasia 3 rd - Complete surgical excision - Prognosis good 3 rd Eyelid Surgical Resection rd eyelid adenoma Prolapsed gland - Everted cartilage - Follicular hyperplasia 3 rd - Young to middle-aged Bulldog or Cocker Spaniel - Smooth appearance - Sometimes inflamed - 3 rd eyelid may not be visible 9

10 Prolapsed gland - Everted cartilage - Follicular hyperplasia 3 rd - Pocket technique to replace - Orbital rim tacking Prolapsed gland - Everted cartilage - Follicular hyperplasia 3 rd - Pocket technique to replace - Orbital rim tacking - Prolapsed gland Everted cartilage - Follicular hyperplasia 3 rd - Large breeds Great Dane - See smooth bend in cartilage - Monitor purely cosmetic - Thermocoagulation 10

11 - Prolapsed gland - Everted cartilage Follicular hyperplasia 3 rd - Pale multifocal masses - Often present on bulbar surface (grasp & invert eyelid) 3 rd - DO NOT remove the 3 rd eyelid unless necessary Prolapsed gland of the 3 rd eyelid Smooth appearance 3 rd eyelid not visible Adenoma of the 3 rd eyelid gland Lobular appearance 3 rd eyelid entirely visible 3 rd - DO NOT remove the 3 rd eyelid unless necessary Prolapsed gland and deep stromal ulcers Conjunctival flaps 11

13 Corneal & Scleral Masses - Limbal melanocytoma Dermoid - Nodular episcleritis - Pannus (superficial chronic keratitis) - Granulation tissue - Iris prolapse - Present since birth - Hair protruding from mass - Surgical resection - Due to corneal irritation Corneal & Scleral Masses - Limbal melanocytoma - Dermoid Nodular episcleritis - Pannus (superficial chronic keratitis) - Granulation tissue - Iris prolapse - Smooth, raised, red mass - Adjacent corneal edema Corneal & Scleral Masses - Limbal melanocytoma - Dermoid Nodular episcleritis - Pannus (superficial chronic keratitis) - Granulation tissue - Iris prolapse - Topical therapy - Cyclosporine or tacrolimus - 0.1% dexamethasone - Systemic prednisone - Try topical first 13

14 Corneal & Scleral Masses - Limbal melanocytoma - Dermoid - Nodular episcleritis Pannus (superficial chronic keratitis) - Granulation tissue - Iris prolapse - German Shepherds - Cyclosporine or tacrolimus Corneal & Scleral Masses - Limbal melanocytoma - Dermoid - Nodular episcleritis - Pannus (superficial chronic keratitis) Granulation tissue - Iris prolapse Chronic entropion - Topical therapy - Cyclosporine or tacrolimus - Dexamethasone 4 weeks later Corneal & Scleral Masses - Limbal melanocytoma - Dermoid - Nodular episcleritis - Pannus (superficial chronic keratitis) - Granulation tissue Iris prolapse - Known trauma - Currently treating ulcer - Anterior synechia - Associated corneal edema - Surgical stabilization (best) - Medical management - Topical Ofloxacin - Systemic antibiotics - Systemic NSAIDs - +/- tarsorrhaphy 14
