A hallikar bullock was presented to the Veterinary Clinical Complex, RIVER with the complaint of an abnormal ocular mass in the left eye, progressing in size with profuse lacrimation for the past ten days. Physical and ocular examinations suggested that the abnormal tissue proliferation could be neoplastic which was present on the medial aspect of the left eye extending from the upper and lower eyelid, conjunctiva and nictitating membrane. Under sedation and local infiltration, a local tumour extirpation was performed. Histopathology of the extirpated mass revealed a well-differentiated neoplasm with long retiform vascular channels, and endothelial cells protruding into the lumen in a hobnail configuration, forming intraluminal papillae. Post-operative care along with routine wound dressing was undertaken. This article reports a case of retiform haemangioendothelioma of the eye in a hallikar bullock.
