Abstract: | A case of seminoma in a monorchid adult guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) is described. Grossly, a right enlarged testis, which was soft in consistency, and white to pale in colour with few spots of haemorrhages was observed. Histologically, the testicle revealed diffusely spread sheets of tumour cells. The cells were large pleomorphic with eccentrically placed hyperchromic nuclei. Mitotic figures were evident. A scanty fibrous stroma, containing lymphocytes and histiocytes, separating the groups of tumour cells, along with few areas of haemorrhages were observed. Occurrence of seminoma in guinea fowl is unusual and hence reported. |
