Correção cirúrgica de cisto hepático : relato de caso

Abstract

A domestic feline, SRD, male, 2 years old, was admitted to HOVET-UFMT, Cuiabá campus, with signs of progressive weight loss and apathy, and increased abdominal volume. Complete hematological and imaging tests were requested, and a large hepatic cyst was indicated as the diagnostic hypothesis through abdominal tomography. Due to persistent symptoms, it was decided to submit the patient to surgery for diagnostic conclusion and resolution of the clinical picture. Due to macroscopic visualization of the cyst, drainage was performed followed by a total hepatic lobectomy of the affected lobes, respectively the right and caudate, using the modified guillotine technique. Culture and antibiogram tests, histological and cystic fluid analysis were performed, which confirmed the diagnosis of hepatic cyst. The feline was hospitalized for 3 days for staging with medications to control pain, monitoring and follow-up with blood tests and ultrasound, being released stable and remaining healthy months after the procedure.
