Abstract

A female Terrier dog with the age of 11 was brought to our hospital with complains of anorexia, loss of weight, lethargy and abdominal swelling. In the abdominal palpation, a mass extending towards the caudal in the right quadrant was identified. Presence of a mass was confirmed in the direct radiographic examination, which supports the clinical finding. In the abdominal ultrasonography it was determined that the liver had lost its homogenous structure, there was free fluid in the abdomen, and the liver borders were irregular. The ALP, total protein, ALB and GGT were identified as 328 IU/L, 2.74 g/dl, 1.85 g/dl and 12.2 U/I respectively in the biochemical analysis. Experimental laparotomy was applied to the case and a diffused mass was identified in the liver. Samples were taken from the neoplastic masses during the operation and the abdomen was closed after identifying diffused neoplastic formations in all lobes. Following the histo-pathological examination of the sample, the patient was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma. In this paper, it was aimed to report the clinical, radiological, ultrasonographic, biochemical and haematological findings of a hepatocellular carcinoma observed in a dog.

Özet

11 yaşlı dişi Terrier ırkı köpek, anoreksi, zayıflama, uyuşukluk ve abdominal genişleme şikayetleriı ile hastanemize getirilmiştir. Abdominal palpasyonda abdomenin sağ kadranında kaudale doğru uzanan kitle belirlenmiştir. Olguda direkt radyografik muayenede klinik bulguyu destekleyen kitle varlığı teyid edilmiştir. Abdominal ultrasonografide karaciğerin homojen yapısını kaybettiği, abdomende serbest sıvı varlığı belirlenmiş ve karaciğer sınırlarının düzensiz olduğu saptanmıştır. Biyokimyasal analizde ALP’nin 328 IU/L, total proteinin 2.74 g/dl, ALB’in 1.85 g/dl, GGT’nin 12.2 U/l olduğu belirlendi. Deneysel laparotomi yapılan olguda karaciğerde yaygın kitle varlığı belirlendi. Operasyon sırasında tümöral kitlelerden örnekler alınarak tüm loplarda yaygın tümöral oluşumların varlığının belirlenmesi üzerine abdomen kapatıldı. Alınan örnekten yapılan histopatolojik incelemede hepatosellüler karsinom tanısı kondu. Sonuç olarak bir köpekte rastladığımız hepatosellüler karsinom olgusunun; klinik, radyolojik, ultrasonografik, biyokimyasal ve hematolojik bulgularının paylaşılması amaçlanmıştır.
