“…It is therefore impossible to directly compare management options between the two species. Tumors that occur near the human limbus, for example conjunctival malignant melanoma and corneally displaced malignant conjunctival melanomas, are typically managed by surgical excision followed by cryotherapy, irradiation, or local chemotherapy and, if necessary, a grafting procedure 12–16 …”

“…Tumors that occur near the human limbus, for example conjunctival malignant melanoma and corneally displaced malignant conjunctival melanomas, are typically managed by surgical excision followed by cryotherapy, irradiation, or local chemotherapy and, if necessary, a grafting procedure. [12][13][14][15][16] The use of cryosurgery in veterinary ophthalmology is well established. 17,18 Although some cryosurgical techniques in veterinary ophthalmology have been superceded, for example cyclocryosurgery, others are still currently employed, including the management of adnexal conditions (distichiasis and small eyelid masses) and equine and bovine squamous cell carcinoma.…”

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and complication rate of partial lamellar resection followed by cryotherapy for the management of canine limbal melanoma. Animals studied Fourteen dogs with unilateral canine limbal melanoma which were managed surgically by partial lamellar resection, cryotherapy (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) and an adjunctive graft procedure. Methods The clinical records of dogs treated between June 1998 and June 2008 were reviewed. The signalment, approximate size and location of the melanoma, variation in surgical technique, recurrence rate, short-term (< three months) and long-term (> three months) complications were assessed. Follow-up information was collected by patient re-examination or telephone interview. Results The mean age at diagnosis was 6.3 years, with a range from 3.2 to 12 years. Seven breeds were affected, including five cross-breed dogs and four Golden Retrievers. The tumour involved the dorsal arc (from the dorsomedial to the ventrolateral quadrant) in 12 eyes and the ventral arc in two eyes.

“…[1][2][3] More than 20 years ago, Fraunfelder and Wingfield reported improved tumour control when excision was combined with cryotherapy as compared to excision or cryotherapy performed alone. 4,5 The limitation of surgical excision is a potential for partial excisions and possibility of stem cell failure when large areas of limbal epithelium are excised.…”
