Abstract
CASE REPORT: An 8-year-old female cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) was presented with coelomic distension. Palpation revealed an irregular intracoelomic mass. An exploratory coeliotomy was performed and the mass successfully removed. Histopathology determined the mass to be a respiratory hamartoma. CONCLUSION: The bird recovered uneventfully and 2 years later showed no evidence of recurrence.
