Plain-English summary
A miniature schnauzer was brought in with bleeding in the eye (hyphema) and increased pressure in the eye (glaucoma). After testing, the vet found a tumor in the retina. The tumor was identified as a type of cancer called a retinal astrocytoma. Unfortunately, the abstract does not provide information on treatment or outcome, so it’s unclear how the dog responded to care.

Abstract
A miniature schnauzer dog presenting with hyphema and glaucoma of the right eye had a retinal neoplasm. Neoplastic cells stained positively for glial fibrillary acidic protein, vimentin, and S-100 and largely negatively for oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 by immunohistochemistry. The clinical and histopathological features of canine retinal astrocytomas are discussed.
