“…Corneal involvement is more frequently the result of extension of a primary conjunctival, limbal or intraocular tumor, rather than a primary corneal neoplasm 1 . This has been reported in cats and dogs with limbal melanomas, 1,4 anterior uveal melanomas, 7 and advanced stages of lymphosarcoma 5,6 . Primary corneal tumors of epithelial origin, such as papillomas and squamous cell carcinomas have been reported mostly in the canine and equine species 1,10–13 .…”

“…Several cases of feline corneal tumors resulting from extension of ocular or periocular tumors can be found in the literature. They include squamous cell carcinoma, limbal melanoma, and corneoscleral extension of intraocular neoplasms such as lymphoma, anterior uveal melanoma, or post‐traumatic ocular sarcoma 1–8 . There is only one recent report of a primary feline corneal neoplasm, which described the combination of squamous cell carcinoma and hemangioma in the cornea of a 14‐year‐old cat 2 …”

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] There is only one recent report of a primary feline corneal neoplasm, which described the combination of squamous cell carcinoma and hemangioma in the cornea of a 14-year-old cat. 2 The present report details the clinicopathologic findings in a case of primary corneal hemangiosarcoma in a cat, which is to the best of our knowledge the first report of this neoplasm in the feline cornea.…”

A 10 year-old castrated male Domestic Short-hair cat with a history of chronic bilateral keratitis was referred for assessment of a red, elevated mass involving the left cornea. The rapid growth of the mass, over a month period in combination with pronounced vascularization and invasion of the corneal surface suggested an aggressive inflammatory or neoplastic process. Following keratectomy, the lesion was diagnosed histopathologically as a hemangiosarcoma. The tumor recurred locally within 3 weeks and enucleation was performed. Histopathologic examination of the globe confirmed the diagnosis and did not reveal infiltration of the limbus and conjunctiva. No signs of local recurrence or metastatic disease have been observed 18 months following enucleation. To the authors' knowledge this is the first case of primary corneal hemangiosarcoma described in the feline species.
