Abstract

A male crossbred dog was presented with soft, pink, multinodular growth on mucocutaneous junction protruding from right medial canthus of lower eye lid since 2 month. The mass was surgically excised. The tumour was diagnosed as a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) based on histopathological evaluation which revealed anaplastic keratinocytes, multiple mitotic figures and epithelial pearl formation. The report describes successful surgical management and diagnosis of ocular SCC in a dog.
