The presented clinical signs were not conclusive for hepatic neoplasms and shared many other common health problems in cats i.e. anorexia, vomiting and dehydration. Blood laboratory analysis showed marked elevation of liver enzymes. Ultrasonography revealed a mixed echogenic pattern with multiple hypoechoic cyst-like cavities. At necropsy, the liver showed diffuse multi-lobulated masses affecting the parenchyma of all the lobes of the liver. Histopathology confirmed the neoplastic nature of the hepatic parenchymatous masses.展开更多
