At slaughterhouse a 5-year-old female local mixed breed cow (Sistani breed) showed numerous small cysts with clear contents that affected extensive areas of the liver, without showing any clinical signs. Histopathologic examination (HandE and PAS staining) revealed that most cysts were in portal area and the contents were of mucin like materials. In portal areas there were slightly increased connective tissue and infiltration of mononuclear inflammatory cells. Pathological and parasitological examinations of the cysts revealed no parasitic origin. On the basis of macroscopic and microscopic characteristics the cysts were diagnosed as intrahepatic congenital cysts. This is the first report of such lesion from Iran.
