A case of hepatic cyst and hepatic lobe torsion in a chow-chow male

The paper aims to describe a clinical case of a dog with a hepatic cyst and a hepatic lobe torsion. Abdominal ultrasound of the dog presented for anorexia and vomiting revealed an anechoic mass in the hepatic parenchyma and a hyperechoic area on the left lateral liver lobe. The biochemical findings in this case showed an elevated glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The surgery consisted of a partial lobectomy of both affected lobes.
