Abstract
A 10-year-old Great Pyrenees was presented for anorexia and weight loss, On physical examination, the dog was emaciated and showed a large ulcerated l esion on the right lower lip in addition to an enlarged right testicle. Fin e-needle aspiration biopsy of the testicle and surgical biopsy of the lip l esion were performed; the histopathological report was consistent with meta static seminoma. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach in this unusual me tastatic seminoma is presented and compared to the previous literature, A m ultimodality therapy consisting of surgery and chemotherapy is proposed for the clinical management of metastatic seminoma in dogs.
