Abstract

In this article, the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma surgically in an eye of an 8-year-old Nili-Ravi buffalo with entire vision loss is described. The positive result of this case indicates that radical exenteration of the orbit is a feasible option for alleviating the distress of bovines with squamous cell carcinoma of the eyes.
