abstract
The present study describes a rare case of pulmonary and hepatic cell carcinoma in a rabbit which was presented for necropsy to the Department of Pathology, College of Veterinary Science, Korutla. Grossly, lungs revealed the presence of multiple, firm, greyish - white nodules of variable size in almost all the lobes. Whitish metastatic nodules also invaded into pleura and intercostal muscles. A hard whitish mass measuring 5x4 cm size was attached to the liver. Microscopically lung showed a well circumscribed mass composed of proliferating neoplastic epithelial cells forming irregular papillary structures. Alveoli were filled with clusters of tumour epithelial cells with large and hyperchromatic nuclei. Mitotic figures and giant cells were noticed and there was a marked nuclear pleomorphism. In the liver, the neoplastic cells showed hyperchromatic nuclei and mitotic figures. Based on gross and characteristic microscopic findings, the tumour was diagnosed as pulmonary and hepatic cell carcinoma.
