Cystic mucinous hyperplasia in the gallbladder of a ferret

An 8-year-old male ferret had icterus, hepatomegaly and an enlarged gallbladder. Microscopically, the gallbladder had numerous mucinous cysts and papillary hyperplasia of the mucosa, consistent with a diagnosis of cystic mucinous hyperplasia. No previous published reports of this condition in ferrets were found.
