A 10-year-old neutered male Siberian husky was referred with a chief complaint of weakness, abdominal distension, inappetence, lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea that they had appeared two days ago since case had been referred to hospital. Case was taken fluid therapy, Marbofloxacin intramuscular injection as a broad-spectrum antibiotic, Vitamin E and Vitamin C ampoules for its antioxidative effect, Vitamin K and Omega3 as hepatoprotective agent and pimobendan tablet and Enalapril tablet during five days. After that, according to nonresponsiveness to treatment, the case was euthanized by the owner's demand. Exploratory laparotomy contained about fifty well-oriented, reddish-brown, non-pedunculated, non-invasive nodules on its surface that were encased in a thin capsule of connective tissue. Examination of the nodular lesions through histopathology showed normal hepatocytes with significant cytoplasmic steatosis. Mitotic index, atypical features and nuclear polymorphism were not altered effectively. The post-mortem diagnosis has confirmed the lesions as hepatocellular adenomas, characterized as benign tumors.
