Primary hepatic tumours are rare, however, the liver is a common site of metastatic tumours due to the rich blood supply (hapatic portal vein and hepatic artery). Malignant primary tumours include:
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Cholangiocellular carcinoma
- Gall bladder carcinoma
- Haemangiosarcoma
- Mast cell tumour
- Hepatic carcinoids
Benign tumours include:
- Hepatocellular adenoma (hepatoma)
- Cholangiocellular adenoma
- Gall bladder adenoma
Note: Distinction must be made between all hepatic tumours and benign nodular hyperplasia frequently observed in the canine.
Signalment
- Hepatic carcinoma occurs most often in male dogs over 10 years old
- Cholangiocellular carcinoma occurs more commonly in female cats
Description
Carcinogens and toxins for example nitrosamines can induce hepatic tumours in an experimental environment.
