  • n. episcleritis — see nodular fasciitis (below).
  • n. fasciitis — a firm painless nodular swelling, 0.25 to 0.5 inch diameter, under the conjunctiva at the corneoscleral junction of the eye in dogs. Alternative sites for lesions are the nictitating membrane, and in the subcutis anywhere in the body and in deeper fascia and muscles of the head, face and eyelid. The lesion is an inflammation of fascia and not a neoplasm but acts in a similar manner and may require enucleation because of its size.

  • n. necrosis — see roeckl's granuloma.
  • n. panniculitis — see nodular panniculitis.
  • n. scleritis — see nodular fasciitis (above).
