Intraocular Osseous Metaplasia in Norfolk Black Turkey ( <i>Meleagris gallopavo</i> ): Clinicopathological Characterization of a Rare Avian Condition
This report describes a well-characterized case of intraocular osseous metaplasia in a turkey. Recognition of this uncommon condition is essential when considering the differential diagnoses of intraocular masses in avian species, emphasizing the diagnostic value of histopathological evaluation. Further studies are warranted to explore the possible systemic involvement and to elucidate the underlying etiologies, including chronic inflammation and trauma.
