Abstract

A nine year old male Doberman dog was presented with mass in lower eyelid (OD). Complete tumor excision was performed under general anaesthesia. The extent of skin loss in the lower eyelid required reconstruction, so H blepharoplasty or sliding skin flap technique was performed. Successful treatment of lower eyelid mass was achieved by surgical removal and no recurrence was noticed later. The mass was histopathologically diagnosed as sebaceous gland adenocarcinoma. A ‘H blepharoplasty’ resulted in satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcome.
