BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS AND CASE REPORTS

Hepatic Biliary Adenofibroma: A Hitherto Unrecognized Tumor in Equines. Report of a Case

A. Salvaggio, S. Caracappa, A. Gurrera and G. Magro

Abstract

Hepatic biliary cystadenoma is a well-delineated neoplasm in some domestic animals, especially in cats, but it has not been reported in equines. We report on a case of hepatic biliary tumor, incidentally found in a 10-year-old horse, with gross and microscopic features similar to those observed in biliary adenofibroma of humans. The tumor presented as a solid mass measuring 16 cm in diameter and histologically was composed of complex tubulocystic biliary components embedded in an abundant fibrotic stroma. We regarded this tumor as a morphological variant of biliary cystadenoma of domestic animals. Differential diagnoses from other hepatic biliary tumor-like and tumor lesions are provided.

Key words: Adenofibroma; cystadenoma; equine; liver.
