Abstract

The bilateral simultaneous conjunctival nodules of a 3.8-year-old neutered male cat were diagnosed as bilateral nodular lipogranulomatous conjunctivitis. Macroscopically, these nodules were milky white in color with a smooth surface. The size of the left and right nodule was approximately 7 mm and 5 mm in diameter, respectively. Histopathologically, these nodules were an aggregation of inflammatory cells consisting mainly of multinucleated giant cells and macrophages. These cells had varying amounts of cytoplasmic lipid vacuoles/clefts,associated with considerable amounts of extracellular lipids. However, there were striking differences between the left and right lesions in terms of the ratio of the inflammatory cells and extracellular lipids.
