Tumours of the testis are common in dogs, uncommon in other domestic animals. Leydig cell tumours, Sertoli cell tumours, and seminomas occur with similar frequencies and not uncommonly in the same testis. Dogs with Sertoli cell tumours may develop female characteristics and become sexually attractive to other males. It is unusual for testicular tumours in dogs to metastasize. Various histological types within the three main categories are described.

睾丸肿瘤在犬类中很常见，在其他家畜中则不常见。间质细胞瘤、支持细胞瘤和精原细胞瘤的发生频率相似，且常出现在同一睾丸中。患有支持细胞瘤的犬可能会出现雌性特征，并对其他雄性产生性吸引力。犬类的睾丸肿瘤发生转移的情况并不常见。文中描述了三大类中的各种组织学类型。
