A superficial lamellar keratectomy was excised, and the corneal button was sent for histopathology. In addition to routine hematoxylin\u2013eosin staining, sections were stained with Gram, PAS, von Kossa, and trichrome stains.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Biomicroscopic examination revealed an extensive corneal epithelial ulcer with a hard white plaque in the central area of the right cornea with associated superficial neovascularization. Ultrasound biomicroscopy showed a 0.63\u2009mm, slightly hyperechoic band in the anterior corneal stroma. Corneal cytology evidenced numerous neutrophils with toxic changes and few macrophages. Histopathologic analysis excluded corneal sequestration as a differential diagnosis and confirmed superficial corneal mineralization. At the last follow\u2010up, 16 months after surgery, corneal transparency had returned, and visual acuity was good with some corneal conjunctivalization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this case report, the presumptive diagnosis is calcific band keratopathy. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first presumed case in a cat not receiving topical phosphate\u2010based steroids and without previous corneal damage. Lamellar keratectomy represents a curative approach that successfully resolved the clinical signs, with no reported recurrence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vop.13295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,31]],"date-time":"2024-10-31T22:34:47Z","timestamp":1730414087000},"page":"871-878","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Presumed calcific band keratopathy in a 10\u2010month\u2010old domestic shorthair cat"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Marta","family":"Ferruz\u2010Fernandez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Puchol Veterinary Hospital  Madrid Spain"},{"name":"Centro Oftalmol\u00f3gico Veterinario Goya  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7132-2491","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Ripolles\u2010Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Puchol Veterinary Hospital  Madrid Spain"},{"name":"Centro Oftalmol\u00f3gico Veterinario Goya  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miriam","family":"Caro\u2010Suarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Puchol Veterinary Hospital  Madrid Spain"},{"name":"Centro Oftalmol\u00f3gico Veterinario Goya  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Almudena","family":"Latre\u2010Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Puchol Veterinary Hospital  Madrid Spain"},{"name":"Centro Oftalmol\u00f3gico Veterinario Goya  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Jimenez\u2010Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Puchol Veterinary Hospital  Madrid Spain"},{"name":"Centro Oftalmol\u00f3gico Veterinario Goya  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Paloma","family":"Rodriguez\u2010Gavilan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Veteriario Marug\u00e1n  Segovia Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Naranjo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IDEXX Laboratories  Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Laguna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Puchol Veterinary Hospital  Madrid Spain"},{"name":"Centro Oftalmol\u00f3gico Veterinario Goya  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Villagrasa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Puchol Veterinary Hospital  Madrid Spain"},{"name":"Centro Oftalmol\u00f3gico Veterinario Goya  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12681\/jhvms.28242"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1994.01090170052021"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","unstructured":"MartinCL PickettJP SpiessBM.Calcific keratopathy.2nd ed.;
