A 13-year-old neutered female Maltese was referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University with 8-month-history of gradually enlarging retrobulbar mass in the right eye. On the ophthalmic examinations, exophthalmos, exposure keratitis, and cataract were observed, and menace response was absent in the eye. The fellow eye was normal except for nuclear sclerosis. On the ocular ultrasonographic evaluation, a mass was identified in retrobulbar and periocular region in the right eye. Exenteration was performed in order to remove the mass. Histopathologic evaluation revealed that most part of the mass was composed of epithelial-like neoplastic cells. Invasion into adipose cells and osseous metaplasia around the mass were also confirmed. Based on the radiologic and histopathologic examination, the mass in the right eye was diagnosed as primary retrobulbar meningioma. Eleven months after the surgery, recurrence was not observed.
