Abstract |
Caroli's syndrome is a
congenital hepatic disorder that is characterized by multifocal,
segmental dilatation of large intrahepatic bile ducts and congenital
hepatic fibrosis. Diagnosis of Caroli’s syndrome with polycystic kidney
disease was made in a Shami goat kid based on the gross and
histopathology of the hepatorenal lesions. Grossly, the liver was
enlarged and diffusely greenish with pinpoint whitish foci. Both kidneys
exhibited multiple renal cysts. Histopathologically, the liver exhibited
multifocal hepatic fibrosis, bile duct ectasia and hyperplasia that were
associated with diffuse cystic dilatation of
medullary renal tubules of both kidneys. These hepatorenal
lesions resemble Caroli’s syndrome in human. To
the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Caroli’s syndrome
in a Shami goat.
