Abstract

A 12-year-old mixed breed male dog was referred to Chonbuk National University Animal Medical Center with unilateral left epiphora. Magnified ophthalmic examination revealed a very small tissue mass on the palpebral conjunctiva of the left eye. The mass was surgically removed and microscopic examination confirmed moderate papillary hyperplasia of the squamous epithelium without viral cytopathic effects. Based on the histology, the mass was diagnosed as a non-viral squamous papilloma. After removal of the mass, the epiphora was completely solved. This case report describes the non-viral squamous papilloma arising from the conjunctiva in a dog with epiphora.

12년령 접종 수컷 개가 전북대학교 수의과 대학에 왼쪽 편측성의 유루증으로 내원하였다. 확대경을 통한 안검사에서 왼쪽 안검 결막에 매우 작은 덩어리가 있는 것이 발견되었다. 이 조직을 외과적으로 제거하여 조직검사를 실시한 결과 편평상피 세포에 바이러스성 변화가 없는 중등도의 유두세포 증식이 관찰되었다. 조직 검사를 바탕으로 비바이러스성 편평세포 유두종으로 진단하였다. 조직 제거 후에 환자의 유루증은 완전히 해결되었다. 본 증례는 개에서 결막의 비바이러스성 편평세포 유두종에 의해 발생한 유루증을 치료한 것이다.
