A case of ciliary body haemangioma causing secondary glaucoma is described in an 11‐year‐ old English setter which presented with an acute history of ocular pain and an opaque cornea. Ultrasound was used to detect the tumour and a definitive diagnosis was made by histological examination after enucleation. Haemangioma in this location does not appear to have been previously reported in the dog.
