Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old Golden Retriever was diagnosed with an eye tumor (intraocular sarcoma) after showing signs of eye inflammation (uveitis) and having a ruptured lens capsule. Nineteen months before the tumor diagnosis, the dog had persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, a condition affecting the eye's development. The treatment involved removing the eye (enucleation), and two years later, there was no sign that the cancer had spread to other parts of the body.

Abstract
This case report describes the clinical findings and ocular pathology in an adult Golden Retriever diagnosed with an intraocular sarcoma. Nineteen s prior to diagnosis with a lens capsule rupture and intraocular sarcoma, the dog was diagnosed with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous and uveitis based on clinical signs and the ultrasonographic appearance of the eye. Two years after enucleation, there was no evidence of metastatic spread of the sarcoma. The immunohistochemical characteristics of the tumor as well as the limitations and supportive evidence used in attempting to identify the histogenesis of the tumor are outlined.
