An unusual gross appearance of avian tuberculosis, where fluid-filled thin-walled cysts are produced and grossly apparent in preference to granulomas, is presented. Histopathology confirmed the granulomatous nature of the lesions and the presence of intracellular acid-fast organisms. Mycobacterium avium complex was cultured from affected organs. The unusual gross presentation in these cases indicates the need to consider tuberculosis in the differential of cystic diseases of avian livers.
本文呈现了禽结核病一种不寻常的大体表现，即产生充满液体的薄壁囊肿，且肉眼可见，而非肉芽肿。组织病理学证实了病变的肉芽肿性质以及细胞内抗酸菌的存在。从受影响的器官中培养出了鸟分枝杆菌复合群。这些病例中不寻常的大体表现表明，在鉴别禽肝脏囊性疾病时需要考虑结核病。
