Seminoma in a dog with ectopic testis - Case report

Abstract

Testicular neoplasia are prevalent in dogs with cryptorchidism. The most common are sertolioma and seminoma. The seminoma develops in the seminiferous tubules and this is second most frequent testicular neoplasia in dogs. The diagnosis is confirmed with histopathology of the testicle collected during surgery for tumor removal. The removal of the testicle is the therapy preferred once studies on chemotherapy for this cancer are still scarce. This review about seminoma occurs through a case report as well as therapeutic protocols chosen
