  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;An unusual gross appearance of avian tuberculosis, where fluid-filled thin-walled cysts are produced and grossly apparent in preference to granulomas, is presented. Histopathology confirmed the granulomatous nature of the lesions and the presence of intracellular acid-fast organisms. &lt;i&gt;Mycobacterium&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;avium&lt;/i&gt; complex was cultured from affected organs. The unusual gross presentation in these cases indicates the need to consider tuberculosis in the differential of cystic diseases of avian livers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
