“…The denomination feline intraocular sarcoma is more precise, as the disease also affects cats with chronic uveitis with no history of trauma . Intraocular sarcoma development has been described in a period from one to ten years following the initial trauma (Dubielzig et al, 1990). These tumors are extremely aggressive, with a high rate of recidivation, metastasis, and optical nerve invasion.…”

“…These tumors are extremely aggressive, with a high rate of recidivation, metastasis, and optical nerve invasion. Numerous authors agree that the tumor originates from the lens epithelium (Dubielzig et al, 1990;Stoltz et al, 1994;Zeiss et al, 2003). stated that these tumors are composed of spindle shaped cells that originate from the fibrous metaplasia of the lens epithelium.…”

Two cases of feline intraocular sarcoma were reported in stray cats that presented blindness and hypotonia of the affected eye for years before the tumor development. Phthisis bulbi, a final stage of a severe inflammation of the eye, is frequently unmonitored because eyes are blind, small, opaque, and not painful. Yet, this report shows that monitoring and early enucleation of eyes of cats with phthisis bulbi are important and should be considered as a treatment option, because feline intraocular sarcoma is an aggressive tumor that significantly decreases live expectancy.Keywords: feline, phthisis bulbi, intraocular, sarcoma, metastasis RESUMO Relatam-se dois casos de sarcoma ocular em gatos que apresentavam cegueira e hipotonia nos olhos afetados por anos antes do crescimento neoplásico. Phthisis bulbi, que é o estágio final de um processo inflamatório ocular intenso, geralmente não é monitorado por tratar-se de um olho cego
