Abstract

Two distinct nodules developed in a cryptorchid testis of an 8-year-old male West Highland White Terrier. One nodule was a Sertoli cell tumor. The other was a spermatocytic seminoma with focal primitive neuroectodermal differentiation: formation of Homer-Wright rosettes and perivascular pseudorosettes, with immunoreactivity for S-100 protein, neuron-specific enolase, synaptophysin, neurofilament-68 kDa, microtubule-associated protein 2, and vimentin. The dog was alive and healthy 2 years after castration.
