Pathohistological study of tumors in canine testes and ovarian in the period 1999-2003

Testes and ovarian tumors are tumors which appear in small percentages in dogs. They rarely lead to a lethal outcome in animals, but, due to the different clinical manifestations that can accompany these tumors, their timely diagnosis is significant because it often determines the treatment of the animal in which such tumors were diagnosed. During the period from 1999 until 2003, the Department for Pathological Morphology of the Belgrade Faculty of Veterinary Medicine examined macroscopically and pathohistologically 5 ovaries with macroscopic signs of neoplastic changes from 5 female and 25 neoplastically altered testes from 18 male dogs. In the testes, seminom, collision tumor (Sertoli cell tumor), Sertoli cell tumor, Leydig cell tumor, and lymphosarcoma were diagnozed. In the ovaries, granulosa cell tumor and dysgerminoma were diagnozed.
