A 19-year-old, speyed, domestic short-hair cat was presented with an @entity5 of 3 months duration. Ophthalmic examination revealed a large, raised, ulcerated and bleeding mass affecting the left lower eyelid. The mass was 12 mm x 10 mm in size, extended to the medial canthus and had eroded 10 mm of eyelid margin. Mandibular lymph nodes were not palpably enlarged. A diagnosis of @entity957 was confirmed by histologic examination. Due to involvement of more than half the lower eyelid, it was decided that treatment with radioactive gold-198 seeds was appropriate. Nine radioactive gold-198 seeds were implanted, delivering a minimum @entity5 dose of 65 Gy. Three weeks postoperatively the mass had resolved, with only a small scab remaining. After a further 3 weeks, there was no evidence of the @entity5 . Although approximately 7 mm of eyelid margin was absent, this did not cause any clinical signs other than mild @entity2024 . There was no evidence of the @entity5 10 months postoperatively, when the cat was euthanased for unrelated disease.
