Plain-English summary
A 6 to 9-year-old dog was found to have a growth on the eye called a conjunctival papilloma, which is a type of benign tumor. In four out of five cases, the growth was discovered by chance during a routine check-up. The dogs involved were from different breeds and included both males and females. While the tumors were not common, they were not considered serious, and no specific treatment was mentioned since they were mostly incidental findings.
