Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Epibulbar melanomas are rare ocular tumors in felines.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A nine-year-old female cat presented with clinical signs suggestive of an ocular mass.
  • Diagnostic imaging and biopsy confirmed a primary malignant epibulbar melanoma.

Findings:

  • The surgical excision of the epibulbar melanoma was successful.
  • Post-operative follow-up revealed no evidence of tumor recurrence or metastasis at 18 months.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of prompt veterinary intervention for feline ocular tumors.
  • Successful management of epibulbar melanoma suggests a positive prognosis with early detection and treatment.
