Colic Associated With Bilateral Seminoma In A Cryptorchid American Miniature Horse Stallion
Abstract
Equine testicular neoplasms are rare, likely due to the practice of early castration. Testicular tumors originate from germ cells, sex-cord stroma, or other cells. The most commonly reported testicular tumor in older (11 to 22 years, mean 16.5 years) cryptorchid stallions is seminoma.1 Most reported cryptorchid seminomas are incidental findings after cryptorchidectomy. Reports of testicular tumors as a differential for a colic syndrome, such as in this report, are few.
