Corneal squamous cell carcinoma in a dog.
A squamous cell carcinoma in situ (corneal intraepithelial neoplasia) was diagnosed in the right eye of an 11-year-old female Golden Retriever. Papillomavirus antigen was not detected in the excised tissues, and the tumor was suspected to be a sequel to previous injury. The tumor was removed by lamellar keratectomy, and the surgical bed was subjected to double freeze-thaw cryotherapy. Tumor regrowth was not apparent approximately one year after treatment.
