A benign epithelial cyst caused a facial swelling in a Labrador. Surgical removal confirmed the cyst was non-cancerous, with no recurrence after two years.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Comparative Pathology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Facial swelling in dogs can present diagnostic challenges.
  • Non-responsive swelling necessitates advanced imaging and diagnostic techniques.
  • Distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions is crucial for treatment planning.

Observation:

  • A one-year-old Labrador presented with a facial swelling unresponsive to initial treatments.
  • Radiography revealed a well-defined, radiolucent lesion near the maxillary premolar.
  • Dacryocystography excluded nasolacrimal duct involvement; ultrasonography suggested a cystic structure.

Findings:

  • Aspiration of the lesion yielded fluid negative for bacterial or neoplastic cells.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the lesion as a benign epithelial cyst.

  • Surgical excision was curative, with no recurrence observed during a two-year follow-up.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing facial swellings.
    • Benign epithelial cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of canine facial masses.
    • Surgical excision provides a favorable prognosis for such cystic lesions.
