Abstract
A clinico-pathological study of primary and secondary liver tumours in the dog showed that secondary neoplasms are more common than primary (129 to 49). Among the primary hepatic tumours, 14 were benign (8 hepatocellular adenomas and 6 cholangiocellular adenomas) and 35 were malignant (18 hepatocellular carcinomas, 13 cholangiocellular carcinomas, one combined hepatocholangiocellular carcinoma, 2 haemangiosarcomas and one fibrosarcoma). Among secondary liver tumours, lymphosarcoma was the most frequent (67 cases), followed by splenic haemangiosarcoma (15 cases) and pancreatic carcinoma (9 cases). The main clinico-pathological differences among these tumours are compared and discussed, and the more interesting findings are contrasted with hepatic neoplasia in man.
