Abstract

Key Clinical Message: A case of a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the nictitating membrane (NM) in a 9‐year‐old female spayed dachshund is reported. Computed tomography and resection of the NM followed by cryosurgery was performed. Although uncommon, BCC should be considered as a differential diagnosis for tumors of the NM.
