Diseases of the eyelids and conjunctiva CHAPTER CONTENTS Congenital anomalies and early life diseases of the eyelids and conjunctiva Eyelid agenesis, hypoplasia, coloboma Distichiasis, ectopic cilia and trichiasis These conditions are common in purebred dogs, and are seldom encountered in other species Entropion and ectropion Symblepharon syndrome Conjunctival or corneal dermoid Inflammatory lesions of the eyelid skin Parasitic dermatitis in horses, cutaneous and ocular habronemiasis, ‘summer sores’ Demodicosis Dermatophytosis (‘Ringworm’) Canine cutaneous histiocytosis, sterile cutaneous granuloma Miscellaneous other causes of blepharitis Proliferative and neoplastic lesions of the eyelid skin Canine juvenile cutaneous histiocytoma Cutaneous and systemic histiocytosis Canine cutaneous melanocytic tumors (melanocytoma) Feline cutaneous melanocytic tumors Intradermal epithelial cysts Cutaneous sebaceous adenoma/epithelioma Canine trichoblastoma (basal cell tumor) Trichoepithelioma Canine infundibular keratinizing acanthoma (intracutaneous epithelioma, keratoacanthoma) Canine sweat gland adenoma Feline apocrine gland tumor Apocrine cystadenomas in Persian cats (hidrocystomas) Canine mast cell tumors
Feline mast cell tumors Epitheliotropic lymphoma (mycosis fungoides) of the eyelid skin Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) in cats Equine sarcoid and bovine fibropapilloma Eyelid margin masses Canine meibomian gland adenoma/epithelioma Canine meibomian gland adenocarcinoma Lid margin melanocytic tumors (melanocytoma) Lipogranuloma (chalazion) Squamous cell carcinoma of the lid margin in cats (multifocal squamous cell carcinoma) Squamous cell carcinoma of the lid margin in dogs Squamous cell carcinoma of the lid margin in horses and cattle Mesenchymal hamartomas of the lateral canthus Conjunctivitis General philosophy on the pathology of conjunctivitis Pseudopterygium in rabbits Ligneous conjunctivitis in dogs Episcleritis and canine nodular granulomatous episclerokeratitis (NGE, fibrous histiocytoma, nodular fasciitis) Feline herpesvirus keratoconjunctivitis, FHV-1 Eosinophilic keratoconjunctivitis Feline conjunctival papillary mastocytosis Lipogranulomatous conjunctivitis in cats Plasmacytic conjunctivitis (‘plasmoma’) of the nictitans in dogs Triamcinolone (depot corticosteroid preparation) injection site granulomas Canine conjunctival onchocerciasis Equine onchocerciasis Conjunctival neoplasms and other nodular lesions Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma
