Abstract
A 2-year-old Desi hen was presented with the
history of abdominal distension, anorexia and
cessation of egg laying. Clinical examination
revealed no traces of egg shell in the cloaca and
fluid thrill was felt in the distended abdomen.
Radiograph confirmed ascites. However, the
bird collapsed and could not be revived.Post
mortem examination revealed multiple, small,
firm, whitish nodules along the length of the
intestines. Histopathology revealed tumour cells
resembling epithelial cells with an acidophilic,
granular cytoplasm, prominent nucleoli and
vesicular nucleus, indicativeof mesothelioma.
