An unilateral corneal epithelial inclusion cyst (CEIC) in a 8-years-old female mixed Poodle is reported. The cyst had been observed for 60 days, was unique, not congenital and only one eye was involved. One year prior to the referral the dog was treated with antibiotics due to an ocular trauma caused by a fight with a cat. In the same eye, palpebral melanocytic tumor and corneal dystrophy were also observed. In order to remove the CEIC a superficial keratectomy was performed. Collagen contact lens and topical antibiotics were the medical treatment of choice. Fifteen month after surgery the dog was referred for recurrence of the CEIC. A second keratectomy and similar topical treatment was attempted again. A second recurrence 16 months after surgery has not been observed to the date. Cytology and histology analysis of the cyst confirmed the diagnosis of the CEIC. Microbiologic studies were also realized and <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> was aisled twice in fifteen months. In this case a relapsing CEIC is reported associated to <i>S. epidermidis</i> contamination. Corneal dystrophy and palpebral melanoma were concomitant lesions, although no relations with the CEIC were concluded.

An unilateral corneal epithelial inclusion cyst in a 7-year-old male Boxer dog is reported. The cyst had been observed for thirty days, was unique, not congenital and only one eye was involved. Seven months prior to the referral the dog had manifested indolent corneal ulcer treated with grade keratotomy and third eyelid flap. The cyst was removed by superficial keratectomy followed by a conjunctival pedicle graft. Recovery was uncomplicated and there wasn’t recurrence seven months after the surgery.

A six-year-old warmblood horse was presented with a longstanding frontlimb lameness with mild digital flexor tenosynovitis and swelling of the distomedial pastern. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance revealed a dense mass lesion in the distal aspect of the digital flexor tendon sheath, with a partial lamellar architecture, absence of internal vascularization and adjacent smooth pressure osteolysis of the middle phalanx. After surgical excision, histopathology confirmed an epithelial inclusion cyst. Epithelial inclusion cysts, also known as keratinizing or follicular cysts, are expansile benign mass-like lesions of aberrant epidermal tissue. In the horse, they are known to occur in cutaneous and several non-cutaneous tissues. In the digital flexor tendon sheath, they have rarely been described. Given their often chronic presentation in this location, they may appear as an atypical dense mass on imaging, uncommon for cystic lesions. Complete tenoscopic removal, even for larger masses, is achievable and considered curative with good prognosis for return.
