Orbital fibrosarcoma in a 1-year-old, male Labrador Retriever. Diagnosis was obtained after enucleation and histopathological analysis. On the right, the tumour can be seen after exenteration, which consists in the enucleation of the ocular globe and complete removal of al orbital contents. The ocular globe exhibits phthisis bulbi (atrophy) due to the strong compression exerted by the neoplastic tissues on the orbital wall.
