The association of cryptorchidism, functional Sertoli cell tumors, and spermatic cord torsion has been rarely reported in the literature. Two dogs were admitted for bilateral skin alopecia and weight loss. Both animals were cryptorchid and displayed a pendulous preputial sheath, prostate hypertrophy, and increased levels of circulating oestrogen. Transabdominal palpation and ultrasonography revealed the presence of neoplastic retained gonads. During surgery, spermatic cord torsion was also detected in the enlarged neoplastic testes of both dogs. Histologic examination confirmed the presence of Sertoli cell tumors that were primarily responsible for the feminizing syndrome. Complete remission of all symptoms occurred within 3 months after orchiectomy.
隐睾症、功能性支持细胞瘤和精索扭转之间的关联在文献中鲜有报道。两只犬因双侧皮肤脱毛和体重减轻入院。两只动物均为隐睾，表现为包皮鞘下垂、前列腺肥大以及循环雌激素水平升高。经腹触诊和超声检查发现存在肿瘤性残留性腺。手术过程中，在两只犬增大的肿瘤性睾丸中也检测到精索扭转。组织学检查证实存在主要导致雌性化综合征的支持细胞瘤。睾丸切除术后3个月内所有症状完全缓解。
