| A rare case of hepatocellular carcinoma in the Arabian sand cat (_Felis margarita harrisoni_) | |
| 2015 Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (46): 699-703 | |
Primary liver cancer is uncommon and is generally classified as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), bile duct carcinoma, neuroendocrine (or carcinoid) tumor, and mesenchymal tumor (sarcoma). Here we describe the gross and histopathology characteristics of a rare HCC in a captive Arabian sand cat (_Felis margarita harrisoni_) held at Al Ain Zoo, United Arab Emirates. The description of this case in the Arabian sand cat adds to the current knowledge of hepatocellular carcinoma in captive nondomestic felids. |
