Plain-English summary
A 12-year-old Cob Pony mare had a tumor-like growth on the outside of her right eye, which was causing concern. The vet surgically removed the mass, which was found to be inflammatory, and repaired the area with a special graft to help heal the cornea. Fortunately, there were no complications or signs of the growth returning during follow-up visits six and twelve months later. The pony is doing well after the procedure.

A tumor-like tissue mass of lateral-limbal site in the right eye of a 12-year-old Cob Pony mare was presented for surgical removal. The mass, covering the lateral limbus, bulbar conjunctiva and part of the cornea, was surgically removed, and the corneal defect repaired with a pedicle bulbar conjunctival graft.
