Ocular Squamous Cell Carcinoma Case in Three Cattle
Abstract
In this article, we compared the applied treatment results with the
clinical and histopathological findings for treating ocular squamous cell
carcinomas in three cattle. The study materials were a five-year-old crossbred
Simmental bull (First case), a four-year-old Eastern Anatolia Red cow (Second
case), and a six-year-old Simmental cow (Third case). The tumoural mass
observed in the first case’s left eye was completely extirpated. The tumoural
masses observed in the right eye of the second case and in the right eye of
third case were also completely extirpated, as were the accessory organs and
bulbus oculi. In the histopathological investigation, the extirpated tumour
masses were determined to be ocular squamous cell carcinomas. In the first
case, the mass was taken from the ventral palpebral conjunctiva, but in the
second and third cases, the mass was taken from the cornea. As a result, in the
cases of cattle ocular squamous cell carcinomas, after removing the mass with
surgical excision, there was no recurrence in the postoperative period, and the
general condition of the patients were observed to be good.
