Abstract

  Corneal dermoid is a congenital anomaly characterized by haired mass formation within the eye. This report describes an unusually circumscribed growth, involving both eyes, and its management in a 2-week-old Friesian bull-calf. Close ophthalmic evaluation revealed haired masses on the cornea of both eyes. Auriculopalpebral nerve block and sedation were achieved using 2% lidocaine and xylazine in order to excise the lesions by superficial lamellar keratectomy. Histological examination confirmed masses to be normal skin (dermoid) which were comprised of hair follicles, hair shafts, and sebaceous glands. Surgical removal along with post-operative medical management is the best treatment option for this condition.
