Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Veterinary Medicine
Pathology

Background:

Canine nodular granulomatous episclerokeratitis is a common suspected diagnosis for limbal masses.
Ocular inflammatory conditions in dogs often require prompt and effective treatment.

Observation:

A 10-year-old female spayed American Pitt Bull Terrier presented with a slow-growing mass on the temporal limbus of the right eye.
Initial treatment with prednisolone acetate and tacrolimus ophthalmic solutions was unsuccessful.
The mass continued to grow, necessitating surgical intervention.

Findings:

Lamellar sclerokeratectomy was performed to excise the limbal mass.
Histopathological examination revealed granulomatous inflammation with intrahistiocytic lipids and cholesterol clefts.
The findings were consistent with canine limbal xanthogranuloma.

Implications:

This case represents the first documented instance of limbal xanthogranuloma in a canine patient.
Highlights the importance of considering xanthogranuloma in the differential diagnosis of canine limbal masses.
Suggests that surgical excision may be the definitive treatment for canine limbal xanthogranuloma when medical management fails.
