  • Title: Corneal epithelial inclusion cyst in a Llama.
    Author: Pirie CG, Pizzirani S, Parry NM.
    Journal: Vet Ophthalmol; 2008; 11(2):111-3. PubMed ID: 18302575.
    Abstract:
    A 13-year-old, female Llama presented for evaluation of a limbal based corneal mass involving the OD of 4 months duration. The mass was excised en bloc by a nonpenetrating keratectomy, followed by placement of a conjunctival advancement flap covering the keratectomy site. The mass was submitted for histological evaluation. Histopathology identified the mass to be a corneal epithelial inclusion cyst filled with necrotic squamous and neutrophilic debris. Surgical excision was complete and considered curative with no signs of recurrence 3 months postoperatively. There was no known prior ocular trauma; however, a previously performed corneal biopsy for evaluation of recurrent epithelial erosions may have been an initiating cause.
