“…Keratotomies, epikeratoplasties and corneal epithelium dystrophies with recurrent erosion have been proposed as cause of this disease (Campos et al, 2002), although congenital origin has also been described (Haller et al, 2002). In dogs, it is a rare corneal condition and the cause has not been definitively determined.…”

“…In dogs, it is a rare corneal condition and the cause has not been definitively determined. Like in humans, CIEC could be congenital (Bedford et al, 1990), however traumatic origin could be also conferred, due to the most dog present a history of previous corneal ulceration or lesion (Bedford et al, 1990;Whitley and Gilger, 1999;Campos et al, 2002). Corneal indolent ulcer and keratectomies have been also hypothesized as possible origins in dog (Campos et al, 2002).…”

“…Epithelial cells incarceration in the stroma, resulting in cyst changes and accumulation of desquamated cell, has been supposed as possible cause (Bedford, 1997;Cullen and Grahn, 2001;Campos et al, 2002). The aetiology remains uncertain and corneal trauma or ulcer before the cyst formation has not could be concluded (Campos et al, 2002). However, most documented cases of CEIC in dogs reveals that surgical trauma or accidental corneal injuries could be the inciting factors (Koch et al, 1974;Schmidt and Prasse, 1976;Bedford et al, 1990).…”

An unilateral corneal epithelial inclusion cyst (CEIC) in a 8-years-old female mixed Poodle is reported. The cyst had been observed for 60 days, was unique, not congenital and only one eye was involved. One year prior to the referral the dog was treated with antibiotics due to an ocular trauma caused by a fight with a cat. In the same eye, palpebral melanocytic tumor and corneal dystrophy were also observed. In order to remove the CEIC a superficial keratectomy was performed. Collagen contact lens and topical antibiotics were the medical treatment of choice. Fifteen month after surgery the dog was referred for recurrence of the CEIC. A second keratectomy and similar topical treatment was attempted again. A second recurrence 16 months after surgery has not been observed to the date. Cytology and histology analysis of the cyst confirmed the diagnosis of the CEIC. Microbiologic studies were also realized and Staphylococcus epidermidis was aisled twice in fifteen months. In this case a relapsing CEIC is reported associated to S. epidermidis contamination. Corneal dystrophy and palpebral melanoma were concomitant lesions, although no relations with the CEIC were concluded.

A 13-year-old, female Llama presented for evaluation of a limbal based corneal mass involving the OD of 4 months duration. The mass was excised en bloc by a nonpenetrating keratectomy, followed by placement of a conjunctival advancement flap covering the keratectomy site. The mass was submitted for histological evaluation. Histopathology identified the mass to be a corneal epithelial inclusion cyst filled with necrotic squamous and neutrophilic debris. Surgical excision was complete and considered curative with no signs of recurrence 3 months postoperatively. There was no known prior ocular trauma; however, a previously performed corneal biopsy for evaluation of recurrent epithelial erosions may have been an initiating cause.

A 10-year-old intact male Yorkshire Terrier was referred for investigation of a large raised and nonpainful corneal lesion oculus dexter. Clinical examination revealed a pale, translucent corneal mass, which occupied half of the corneal surface and measured 11 mm x 11 mm x 13 mm. The mass was removed by superficial keratectomy and equine amniotic membrane (AM) was transplanted into the large corneal defect to cover the wound and provide tectonic support for the remaining cornea. The mass was histologically confirmed as a corneal epithelial inclusion cyst. There was no evidence of recurrence or complication at the surgical site 100 days postoperatively. Corneal epithelial inclusion cysts are uncommon in dogs. Although superficial keratectomy is the recommended treatment for corneal inclusion cyst, the combination of superficial keratectomy and AM transplantation had to be considered as an alternative for repair of large corneal defects. This is the first case report of the combined application of AM and superficial keratectomy to successfully treat a corneal inclusion cyst in a dog.
