In chicken, peritoneal cystic lesions have not been clearly categorized. In this study, diffuse peritoneal multiple cysts were observed in two layer hens. The cysts in the serosa were lined with single layers of squamous or cuboidal cells. The papillary proliferations of columnar cells were also observed in one case. The smooth muscle layer or mass were observed around the cysts in both cases. The cystic lining cells were positive for pan-cytokeratin, vimentin, S100 and Wilms tumor 1. Ultrastructurally, they had sparsely microvilli on the luminal surface. The histological results indicated the present cases were multicystic mesothelioma, but also had characteristics of Mullerian epithelium. This is the first report describing the detailed pathological feature of unique multicystic tumor in chicken.

Two Large Yorkshire piglets were diagnosed as persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV). In case 1, the white cord-like structure extending from optic disc to lens was observed in the normal-sized right eye. Case 2 showed buphthalmos of the right eye. The internal structure of the right eye was unclear due to bleeding, but a white cord-like structure was slightly observed. In both cases, histological examinations revealed the fibrovascular cord-like structure in hyaloid vitreous. The retina was detached, and dysplastic nervous tissue was observed in anterior vitreous. Immunohistochemistry using various neural markers suggested that dysplastic nervous tissue was derived from the detached neural retina. By the characteristic macroscopic and histopathological features, both cases were diagnosed as PHPV. To our knowledge, this is the first report of swine PHPV.
