- Abstract
In the present study we describe and discuss the clinical signs, gross and microscopic lesions, epidemiology, and diagnosis of a periocular fibroblastic sarcoid case in a donkey (Equus asinus) in Cordoba province (Colombia). The animal presented multiple nodular masses in the upper and lower eyelids and the medial angle of the left eye, with slight ulceration and diffuse skin lifting, characterized by tumor-like appearance, granulomatous, firm, and fibrous.

The diagnosis was based on the clinical, epidemiological, and pathological findings
