title: Infiltrative corneal lesions resembling fibrous histiocytoma: clinical and pathologic findings in six dogs and one cat.
abstract: Infiltrating corneal lesions developed in 6 dogs and 1 cat. In each case, the site of origin appeared to be the corneal limbus. The lesions were characterized by continuous growth, a benign appearance, and a tendency to recur following excision keratoplasty. Each lesion was of a proliferative, inflammatory nature, histologically resembling fibrous histiocytoma. Of the 6 dogs in the series, 4 were Collies.
