USG guided FNAC of testicular seminoma of a unilateral cryptorchid dog: A case study

Abstract

Cryptorchidism is the most common birth defect in the reproductive system of mammalian species. In this case report a 7.6-year-old male Labrador breed dog was presented with complaints of vomition, indigestion, distended abdomen, and progressive weight loss. The dog was monorchid from the birth. The clinical report revealed that Babesia (small form) and Anaplasma positive, leukocytosis and with high Serum Glutamate-Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT). Physical examination revealed that a large palpable mass is present the in the abdomen and unilateral cryptorchidism. A right lateral radiograph of whole abdomen suggests presence of three distinct soft tissue masses inside. Ultrasonography confirms three space-occupying lesions (SOL) measuring SOL-1(62.5 cm2), SOL-2(6.93×6.42), and SOL (41.62 cm2). USG-guided FNAC has been revealed suggesting it may be seminoma.
