Clinical, genetic, and pathological features of male pseudohermaphroditism in dog

Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 2011 Jan 21:9:12. doi: 10.1186/1477-7827-9-12.

Abstract

Male pseudohermaphroditism is a sex differentiation disorder in which the gonads are testes and the genital ducts are incompletely masculinized. An 8 years old dog with normal male karyotype was referred for examination of external genitalia abnormalities. Adjacent to the vulva subcutaneous undescended testes were observed. The histology of the gonads revealed a Leydig and Sertoli cell neoplasia. The contemporaneous presence of testicular tissue, vulva, male karyotype were compatible with a male pseudohermaphrodite (MPH) condition.
