Abstract
Surgically excised masses in the upper eyelid of both eyes were diagnosed as feline lipogranulomatous conjunctivitis. At presentation, the cat had bilateral blepharoptosis with swelling of the upper eyelids and no systemic abnormalities. The inversion of the upper eyelid showed a yellowish white mass on the palpebral conjunctiva and a part of the mass overreached from the eyelid margin. Histologically, there were numerous pyogranulomatous inflammatory foci with large free lipid droplets in the conjunctival lamina propria. Ruptured Meibomian glands were not included in the sections. Complete excision has proven curative and the prognosis has been good to date.
