Adnexal cystadenoma in a bearded dragon (pogona vitticeps)

An adult female bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) presented to the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital for an area of swelling affecting the left eye of approximately 3 years ′ duration. Upon examination, the left eye could not be evaluated due to an extensive periorbital mass effect. Hematologic and advanced diagnostic testing were recommended but due to financial concerns the owner declined. Ultimately the patient was humanely euthanized and was submitted for necrops y. The mass was diagnosed via histopathology as a cystadenoma of the eyelid.
