A case of orbital hemangiopericytoma in a dog

Vet Ophthalmol. 2001 Dec;4(4):255-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1463-5224.2001.00194.x.

Abstract

A 7-and-a-half-year-old-dog was presented with progressive unilateral exophthalmos. Computed tomography imaging revealed an orbital mass that was surgically excised by lateral orbitotomy to preserve vision. The tumor was diagnosed histologically as a hemangiopericytoma. Twelve months postoperatively there were no signs of a local recurrence. This is the first case report of a hemangiopericytoma involving the orbit of a dog.
