Abstract
A twelve year old camel was presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, LUVAS, Hisar with history of swelling in the right eyelid and blurring of the eye. No other abnormality was detected in affected eye on physical examination of eye. Tmperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate were within the normal range. Excisional biopsy was performed. Impression cytology of the tissue revealed large cells with abundant basophilic cytoplasm and pleomorphic nuclei. Histopathologically, tissue section of the biopsy material showed infiltrating neoplastic squamous epithelial cells in the form of cell nests, hyperchromasia of nuclei and epithelial keratin pearl at some places. The malignant cells of cell nests revealed dense cytoplasmic immunopositive reactivity to the pancytokeratin. Based on gross examination, impression cytology, histopathology and immunohistochemical findings, the case was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma of eyelid. It was successfully treated with lithium antimony thiomalate @ 15ml IM 6 shots for alternate day with supportive therapy.
