L’oeil gauche fut énucléé en raison d’une suspicion de rupture du globe oculaire, secondaire à un processus néoplasique ou à un traumatisme chronique.
L’examen ophtalmique a révélé un effacement de la chambre antérieure et de la cornée par une masse importante. Une femelle cacatoès à crête de soufre (Cacatua galerita galerita) âgée de 34 ans a été référée pour suspicion de rupture du globe oculaire gauche. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of iridociliary adenoma in a greater sulfur-crested cockatoo, and the third report of such a neoplasm in a psittacine species with a description of the use of immunohistochemistry to confirm a diagnosis of a rare tumor in a bird species.Īdénome iridociliaire chez un cacatoès à crête de soufre (Cacatua galerita galerita). The cockatoo recovered well from surgery, with appropriate healing of the enucleation site, and no evidence of recurrence at 1-year follow-up. The diagnosis was confirmed by Periodic acid-Schiff histochemistry and immunohistochemistry for S100, Melan-A/PNL2, and vimentin antigens. Histopathological examination revealed complete effacement of the internal ocular structures by a neoplasm morphologically consistent with an iridociliary adenoma. The left eye was enucleated due to suspicion of globe rupture, secondary to a neoplastic process or chronic trauma. Ophthalmic examination revealed effacement of the anterior chamber and cornea by a large mass.
A 34-year-old female greater sulfur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita galerita) was referred for suspected left globe rupture.
