Abstract

A fifteen years old female buffalo was referred to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC), RS Pura, Jammu, India with a history of purulent discharge and protruded mass from the right eye with an impaired vision for 30 days. On physical examination, there was ulcerated vesicular growth at the sclera corneal junction. Protruded mass was removed surgically and was taken for histopathological examination and AgNOR count. On histopathological studies, cells displayed severe anaplasia, pleomorphism, hyperchromatic nuclei, multiple nucleoli, and frequent mitotic figures and it was diagnosed as ocular squamous cell carcinoma. The value of mean and proliferative AgNOR for ocular squamous cell carcinoma was found to be 2.83±0.87 and 32%, respectively. Based on patho-morphological examination and AgNOR count, the protruded mass was led to the final diagnosis of ocular squamous cell carcinoma.
