URIBE CASTILLO, Daniel  y  CARDENAS MUNOZ, Kelly Leandra. Feline iridal melanoma: a case report. Ces. Med. Vet. Zootec. [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.2, pp.71-79. ISSN 1900-9607.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesmvz.14.2.6.

Feline diffuse iris melanoma is a statistically atypical pathology that compromises the eye, with the possibility of affecting other organs if a metastatic process occurs. Enucleation is usually a therapeutic alternative to reduce the risk of this process; however, this decision requires an adequate clinical examination. The diagnosis of this disease needs to be confirmed by histopathology and its follow-up must be continuous, through chest radiography, abdominal ultrasound and complete ophthalmological examination. This article presents the analysis and discussion of a feline diffuse iridal melanoma case in a domestic short hair cat, its clinical findings, the use of diagnostic aids and its therapeutic approach.

Palabras clave : enucleation; histopathology; iris melanoma; metastasis.
