An abdominal ultrasound revealed that large multiple hepatic cysts with irregular walls, hypoechoic fluid, and internal septations occupied most of the liver parenchyma. Serum liver enzymes, bilirubin, and bile acids concentrations were within normal limits. A fecal examination using simple floatation and formalin-ether sedimentation techniques was negative for liver fluke (Platynosomum fastosum), intestinal protozoa, and other helminth eggs. Praziquantel was prescribed for two distinct courses one month apart without obvious improvement of the hepatic cysts. An abdominal laparotomy and histopathological examination finally enabled diagnosis of cyst-like lymphocytic cholangiohepatitis of the liver tissue. Twelve weeks of oral prednisolone resulted in marked ultrasonographic improvement of the hepatic cysts. The liver parenchyma was heterogeneous and filled with multiple small anechoic cavities. Twenty-three months after ceasing the prednisolone, there was no recurrence of hepatic cysts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani12233278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,25]],"date-time":"2022-11-25T04:05:39Z","timestamp":1669349139000},"page":"3278","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Feline Cyst-like Lymphocytic Cholangiohepatitis in a Cat: First Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7342-7879","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sathidpak Nantasanti","family":"Assawarachan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Companion Animal Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University, 50 Ngamwongwan rd., Lat Yao, Jatujak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand"},{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Kasetsart University, 50 Ngamwongwan rd., Lat Yao, Jatujak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6371-3679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rungrueang","family":"Yodsheewan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University, 50 Ngamwongwan rd., Lat Yao, Jatujak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Phudit","family":"Maneesaay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University, 50 Ngamwongwan rd., Lat Yao, Jatujak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1516-7431","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kasem","family":"Rattanapinyopituk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University, 39 Henri Dunant rd., Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Piyathip","family":"Chuchalermporn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Kasetsart University, 50 Ngamwongwan rd., Lat Yao, Jatujak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atijit","family":"Kongchun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Kasetsart University, 50 Ngamwongwan rd., Lat Yao, Jatujak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjang","family":"Hakhen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Kasetsart University, 50 Ngamwongwan rd., Lat Yao, Jatujak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9373-6169","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Panpicha","family":"Sattasathuchana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Companion Animal Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University, 50 Ngamwongwan rd., Lat Yao, Jatujak, Bangkok 10900, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"395","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2009.02.003","article-title":"Summary of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association standardization committee guide to classification of liver disease in dogs and cats","volume":"39","author":"Cullen","year":"2009","journal-title":"Vet.
