  • Title: Management of eyelid neoplasms in the dog and cat.
    Author: Aquino SM.
    Journal: Clin Tech Small Anim Pract; 2007 May; 22(2):46-54. PubMed ID: 17591289.
    Abstract:
    Eyelid neoplasms are common in the older dog and typically benign. Eyelid neoplasms in the cat are less common and more often malignant. Resection of eyelid masses may be curative; however, restoration of the eyelid structure after mass excision is essential for maintaining long-term ocular surface health. Surgical techniques and instrumentation for eyelid surgery are reviewed. Indications, benefits. and limitations of sharp excision, cryotherapy, and laser excision and ablation are discussed. Neoplasia of the third eyelid is also discussed.
