Primary hepatic tumours are rare, accounting for less than 1.5% of all canine tumours and 1.0-2.9% of all feline tumours. However, the liver is a common site for the establishment of metastatic tumours due to its rich blood supply from the hepatic portal vein and hepatic artery.  In dogs, hepatic neoplasia are 2.5 times more likely to be metastases than primary neoplasia whereas primary hepatobillary tumours are more frequent than metastatic tumours in cats.
