“…The prognosis was considered good, but due to the spread along the optic nerve, the patient needed to be monitored. Enucleation was curative in this case, which is consistent with the literature [4,18,23]. At 1.5 years after surgery, no signs of tumor recurrence were found.…”

“…In the literature, as soon as secondary ocular changes appear, enucleation is recommended [4,8]. In this case, several episodes of intraocular hemorrhage appeared but were temporarily managed with cortisone eye drops.…”

“…Recently, radiotherapy has emerged as the most common treatment for larger choroidal melanocytic tumors in human medicine. The transpupillary diode laser mass ablation has been described to be successful in dogs [6]; however, it is only effective for small masses that do not involve the optic nerve [4]. Chemotherapy seems to be ineffective [8].…”

“…The posterior location of the choroidal melanocytoma is difficult to diagnose until the tumor causes ocular diseases. Tumor infiltration into the surrounding tissue leads to chronic uveitis, secondary glaucoma, retinal detachment and intraocular hemorrhage [4]. The prognosis for dogs with choroidal melanocytoma is considered good [1], whereas the survival time for dogs with malignant melanomas is significantly shortened [3].…”

“…It is not possible to differentiate melanocytomas from melanomas by clinical signs [1], and histopathological analysis is needed [8]. Enucleation is mostly recommended when secondary ocular changes appear [4]. Consequently, the literature about choroidal melanocytoma progression over a longer period is scarce [6].…”

A 3-year-old male Slovak Hound with retinal detachment was presented. The causative intraocular mass was detected by ultrasonography, and the course of the disease was monitored over a 3-year period. Enucleation was performed due to secondary glaucoma. A benign choroidal melanocytoma was diagnosed by histopathology. To our knowledge, this is the first report that describes the disease over such a long period of time. The mild course of the disease questions enucleation of eyes with no or minor symptoms. Conventional treatment may be a suitable alternative to surgery for dogs with high anesthesia risks.

In human ophthalmology, the benefits of using high-frequency radiowave (HFR) electrocautery for surgical procedures were demonstrated and include effective haemostasis, shorter surgery times, and rapid recovery. In canine eyelid surgery, intraoperative bleeding is a common feature that may obscure the surgical field view and lead to the increased swelling of adjacent tissues, bruising, and pain. To evaluate the efficacy and benefits of HFR electrocautery in canine eyelid and third eyelid surgery, the medical records of 48 surgical excisions of eyelid tumours (involving up to one-third of the eyelid length) and 4 third eyelid excisions were reviewed. The information was collected including the breed, age, clinical signs, HFR power setting and mode of the surgical unit, electrode used for the surgery, intraoperative complications, histopathological diagnosis, and postoperative outcomes. Surgical techniques were performed using the Surgitron Dual 3.8 MHz Frequency RF device (Ellman International, Oceanside, NY, USA). Intraoperative bleeding was recorded as absent or very mild, and the surgical procedures were very fast. No complications occurred during the procedures. Healing within 10 days was observed in all the dogs. No tumour recurrences were recorded at the 12-month follow-up. HFR electrosurgery proved to be a safe, effective, and easy-to-perform technique for the removal of eyelid and third eyelid tumours in dogs.
