A 2 years old dog was brought to the clinic with complains of testicular enlargement. The tissue was diffusely affected as confirmed by ultrasonographic examination, being the right testicle atrophied and the right epididymis enlarged, with loss of echotexture and presence of several anechogenic areas. The situation required the excision of the referred testicle and epididymis. Final diagnose made by histopathological analysis was primary unilateral low-grade paratesticular leiomyosarcoma. Scarce bibliography is found on this matter, with several cases reported on human, and none in dog. This case report is therefore an important milestone on the area of small animal oncology directly related to the reproductive tissue.
一只2岁的犬只因睾丸肿大被带到诊所。超声检查证实组织受到弥漫性影响，右侧睾丸萎缩，右侧附睾肿大，回声纹理消失并存在多个无回声区。这种情况需要切除上述睾丸和附睾。组织病理学分析最终诊断为原发性单侧低度睾丸旁平滑肌肉瘤。关于此事的文献稀少，人类有几例报道，犬类尚无报道。因此，本病例报告是小动物肿瘤学领域与生殖组织直接相关的一个重要里程碑。
