Fibrolipoma in the Upper Eyelid of a Canine: First Case Report.

Abstract

A 10-year-old intact male Labrador Retriever presented with persistent swelling of the upper eyelid of the right eye. A solid, movable, and spherical mass was palpable under the right upper eyelid. No abnormalities were found in the orbit or globe. The mass was treated via excisional biopsy and was submitted for histopathology, where the diagnosis of a fibrolipoma was made. There were no signs of tumor regrowth during 30 months of follow-up. This is the first report on the diagnosis and treatment of fibrolipoma of the canine eyelid, providing a valuable reference for the clinical practice of ophthalmology in small animals.
