Abstract
A case of bilateral seminoma in an aged Mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) i s described. Both testes were enlarged, Histologically, the testes revealed large irregular seminiferous tubules containing diffuse sheets of large ro und, hyperchromatic neoplastic spermatogenic cells, Mitotic figures were se en. The growth had spread diffusely in both testes with no normal tissue le ft. Occurrence of bilateral seminoma without metastasis to other organs is unusual.
