Abstract

Non-haematopoietic hepatic malignancies are uncommon in birds. The clinical presentation (i.e. chronic buphthalmos)and non-specific radiographic findings observed in this adult Amazon parrot (Amazona spp.) were not consistent with previous reports describing the natural behaviour of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma in birds.
