Abstract
An intra-hepatic bile duct carcinoma was incidentally detected in the liver of an adult she camel during a routine meat inspection in the local abattoir at Al-Ahsa province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Examination of the carcass revealed a grossly enlarged liver with numerous distorted grayish-white nodules of variable sizes. A large amount of ascitic abdominal fluid was also recovered during dissection and evisceration. The case was tentatively and primarily diagnosed as a terminal stage of chronic granulomatous liver disease. However, the microscopic examination for the hepatic nodulations revealed few complicated hyperplasic as well as excess of neoplastic proliferations of biliary epithelium in the form of ill-developed bile ductules separated with fibrous tissue stroma. Numerous mitotic figures, lymphocytic infiltration and blood pigments were also detected.
