Key result
Nictitating membrane amputation successfully treats hemangiosarcoma in two Great Danes without recurrence at twelve months.
Why the study?
Does amputation of the nictitan prevent recurrence or metastasis in Great Danes with hemangiosarcoma of the nictitating membrane?
Does amputation of the nictitan prevent recurrence or metastasis in Great Danes with hemangiosarcoma of the nictitating membrane?
Amputation of the nictitan was successful in treating hemangiosarcoma of the nictitating membrane in two Great Danes without recurrence at 12 months.
Nictitan amputation may be effective for nictitating membrane hemangiosarcoma in Great Danes; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Hemangiosarcoma of the nictitating membrane of two Great Dane dogs is reported. Treatment was successfully carried out by amputation of the nictitan. No recurrence of the mass or pulmonary metastasis was evident within a period of twelve months after the treatment.
