Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Ophthalmology
  • Ophthalmic Pathology

Background:

  • Conjunctival masses in cats can present diagnostic challenges.
  • Lacrimal gland abnormalities require thorough investigation.

Observation:

  • A 1-year-old Maine Coon cat presented with bilateral, temporal conjunctival masses.
  • Ophthalmic examination revealed fluctuant, nonpainful subconjunctival masses.
  • Ultrasound confirmed bilateral cavitated, tubular structures with anechoic content.

Findings:

  • Histopathology identified lacrimal gland tissue infiltrated by inflammatory cells.
  • Cavitated structures filled with proteinaceous debris were noted.
  • Diagnosis included bilateral adenitis and temporal lacrimal gland dacryops.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of histopathology in diagnosing feline conjunctival masses.
  • Successful surgical management of lacrimal gland dacryops in cats is demonstrated.
  • Understanding feline lacrimal gland diseases aids in clinical management.
