Abstract:
Two 5-month-old golden retriever dogs were referred for the evaluation of a mass
arising from the left ventrolateral conjunctiva of the lower eyelid. The masses were
externally located, deemed to be cystic in nature, and were surgically removed, and in
one case, 0.15 mL of clear fluid was collected. Cytological examination of the aspirated
fluid revealed proteinaceous, basophilic amorphous material, and few epithelial cells
with foamy cytoplasm and small nuclei. No micro-organisms were detected.
Histological examination of the cysts showed a wall composed of single to double cell
layers. The cells were cuboidal to flattened, nonciliated, lined with mild submucosal
connective tissues and slight inflammation composed of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and
rare macrophages. In some areas, lobules of acinar glandular tissue were observed. To
the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case report of conjunctival dacryops in dogs. The
complete surgical removal of the cysts was curative in both cases.
