Plain-English summary
A 14-year-old female dog came in for a follow-up after having her eye lens removed a year ago. During the check-up, the vet found abnormal tissue growth in the front part of her eye, which can happen after surgery. To treat this issue, the vet performed a procedure to remove the eye contents. Tests on the removed tissue confirmed the abnormal growth.

Abstract
A 14-year-old, female dog was presented for a recheck following intracapsular lens removal 1 year earlier. On examination, epithelial downgrowth was identified in the anterior chamber, and an evisceration was performed. The intraocular contents were submitted for histopathologic examination, which confirmed the presence of epithelial downgrowth.
