“…Mucocele formation of the sublingual salivary gland is reported most frequently 12 . Expansion of adjacent tissue may result in exophthalmos or enophthalmos, depending on the direction of pressure on the globe, 6,10 and distention of the zygomatic excretory duct 5 . Duct distention was reported in approximately 50% of dogs with zygomatic mucocele 4 .…”

“…Transient improvement with antibiotic therapy was documented in an 11‐year‐old male Irish setter that had a history of gradually progressive, nonpainful exophthalmos that was ultimately diagnosed with mucinous adenocarcinoma 5 . Salivary mucoceles may also respond to anti‐inflammatory medications initially, as saliva, when in contact with surrounding tissue, can cause a varying degree of local inflammation 6,10,11 …”

A case of a salivary gland mucocele in a dog causing nonpainful exopthalmos with dorsolateral deviation of the globe and protrusion of the third eyelid. Diagnosis was made via ultrasound and confirmed with computed tomography. Aspiration of the cystic material along with injection of a sclerosing agent, 1% polidocanol (Aethoxysklerol), was used to destroy the mucocele. Follow-up monthly examination post injection confirmed resolution of clinical signs to date, namely abnormal globe position, with no complications observed.

“…This evaluation showed no signs of distant metastatic disease, and although microscopic metastases could not be excluded, exenteration of the affected globe was performed via a transpalpebral approach. Optic nerve and retrobulbar soft‐tissue involvement was not observed during the surgery and a 22‐mm spherical silicone implant was inserted inside the orbital cavity for cosmetic purposes 12 …”

An 11-year-old male, neutered European cat was presented for anisocoria due to pupillary dilation in the right eye. Ophthalmic findings were restricted to this eye and consisted of a raised, darkly pigmented, retrolental mass associated with retinal detachment. Ultrasonography identified the mass lesion protruding into the vitreous cavity from the posterior pole of the eyeball and confirmed the detachment of the retina. A tentative diagnosis of an intraocular tumor was made. Radiographic evaluation and retromandibular lymph node cytology did not reveal evidence of distant metastasis. Orbital exenteration of the affected eye was performed and the tumor was diagnosed as a choroidal melanocytic tumor with no criteria of malignancy (melanocytoma). The cat died 5 months later from renal lymphoma, and necropsy did not detect metastasis of the melanocytic tumor. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of feline choroidal melanocytoma.
