Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract. 1992 Dec;8(3):609-26. doi: 10.1016/s0749-0739(17)30444-3.

Abstract

Except for two neoplasms, notably SCC and sarcoid, ocular and periocular tumors are uncommon in horses. The practitioner must accurately determine the type of tumor by histopathology so appropriate treatment and a legitimate prognosis can be offered. The first attempt at treatment has the greatest chance to result in a cure; an aggressive treatment regimen therefore should be selected from the start.
