Melanoma, excisional biopsy, eyelid, horseAbstract
The aim of this study is to report a case of melanoma in a quarter-mile horse cross, male, 10 years of age, moor color, which was taken to the clinic of the Universidad de los Llanos by a mass in the right eyelid which prevented his vision for that eye in March 2010. In this case report, we emphasize on clinical signs, laboratory tests such as CBC, excisional biopsy and histopathology, and introduced to animal treatment.
