Coliganuloma is characterized by nodular granulomas in
liver, mesentery and walls of intestine and is caused by
Escherichia coli. This article describes gross and histopathological
characteristics of coligranuloma in a pigeon. Grossly,
there were observed multifocal nodular lesions on the serosal
surface of the intestine, oviduct, pancreas, gizzard and
liver. For the histopathological study, tissue samples from
the affected organs were taken and stained. The affected
organs were processed for the bacteriological examination.
Escherichia coli was isolated from affected tissues. Histopathologically,
there were found typical granulomas with
caseation necrosis and bacterial colonies in central area
surrounded by lymphocytes, macrophages, multinucleated
giant cells and heterophils. Based on gross, histopathological
and microbiological findings, coligranuloma was diagnosed.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report
of coligranuloma in pigeon.
