Abstract
A 2-year-old male Labrador Retriever was presented for sudden abdominal distension. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed abundant abdominal fluid and a hepatic mass, which was removed by total lobectomy. Histologic evaluation of the mass supported a vascular hepatic hamartoma.

This is the first recorded case of a canine vascular hepatic hamartoma treated surgically and having a successful long-term outcome.
