  • Title: Penetrating keratoplasty for treatment of recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the cornea in a horse.
    Author: van der Woerdt A, Gilger BC, Wilkie DA.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1996 May 15; 208(10):1692-4. PubMed ID: 8641952.
    Abstract:
    Squamous cell carcinoma involving the cornea and conjunctiva of the left eye in a 14-year-old horse was treated by superficial keratectomy in combination with beta-radiation and radiofrequency hyperthermia. The tumor recurred 4 months later in the central cornea at the edge of the previous keratectomy site. Penetrating keratoplasty was performed in an effort to remove the tumor and retain a visual eye. The eye was visual 13 months after surgery. Mild fibrosis and vascularization were observed in the area of the penetrating keratoplasty.
