Male pseudohermaphroditism, cryptorchism, and Sertoli cell neoplasia in three miniature Schnauzers

Abstract

A syndrome of male pseudohermaphroditism, cryptorchidism, and testicular neoplasia was diagnosed in 3 Miniature Schnauzers. The dogs had clinical signs of hyperestrogenism and were either unilateral or bilateral cryptorchids. At surgery, it was discovered that the dogs were male pseudohermaphrodites, having intra-abdominal testes containing Sertoli cell tumors and uteri that had undergone endometrial cystic hyperplasia.
