N2  - Coliganuloma is characterized by nodular granulomas inliver, mesentery and walls of intestine and is caused byEscherichia coli. This article describes gross and histopathologicalcharacteristics of coligranuloma in a pigeon. Grossly,there were observed multifocal nodular lesions on the serosalsurface of the intestine, oviduct, pancreas, gizzard andliver. For the histopathological study, tissue samples fromthe affected organs were taken and stained. The affectedorgans were processed for the bacteriological examination.Escherichia coli was isolated from affected tissues. Histopathologically,there were found typical granulomas withcaseation necrosis and bacterial colonies in central areasurrounded by lymphocytes, macrophages, multinucleatedgiant cells and heterophils. Based on gross, histopathologicaland microbiological findings, coligranuloma was diagnosed.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reportof coligranuloma in pigeon.
