ABSTRACT
Vinci A, Brunetti B, Mazzi A, Sarli G, Cystic hyperplasia of gall bladder in a dog, Onl J Vet Res., 11 (3): 32-34, 2007. An 11 year old female dog was admitted with a
history of anorexia, constipation and ptyalism.
Clinical findings included rectal temperature of 35,3°C,
depression and jaundice. The dog was euthanasied and
submitted for necroscopy to our Department. Gross
changes included jaundice of skin, subcutis, sclerae and a non-patency of the choledoch
duct. The definitive diagnosis was jaundice caused by extra-hepatic
cholestasis. Microscopical examination showed a
hyperplastic epithelium forming intramural cysts of the gall bladder and of the
extrahepatic bile duct reaching the duodenum. Unlike cases described in
literature where cystic hyperplasia of gall bladder doesn’t provide clinical
evidence, our case is peculiar because this pathology induced an extra-hepatic
jaundice syndrome.
Keys words: Cyst, Dog, Gall bladder,
Hyperplasia, Jaundice.
