    Atualização sobre sertolioma em cães
    (Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2001-11-30) CANAVES, Karla Christina; MANÇANARES, Celina Almeida Furlanetto
    Sertolioma occurs more frequently in elderly and cryptorchidic dogs. Sertoli cells are responsible for physical support, protection and nutrition for developing gametes. Sertoli cells secrete estrogen, so the animal usually shows signs of hyperestrogen such as feminization, gynecomastia, alopecia and atrophy of the unaffected testis. Metastasis rarely occurs. The definitive diagnosis can be obtained through the histopathological examination of the neoplastic testis. The treatment of choice is bilateral orchiectomy.
