Abstract

Leiomyomas are masses of well-differentiated smooth muscle cells that generally develop throughout the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and hepatobiliary systems, and may be found beneath intact mucosa. This report describes a case of intestinal leiomyoma in a captive Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) diagnosed post-mortem through histopathology using hematoxylin-eosin staining.
