Abstract
The relationship between cryptorchidism and testicular tumors has been well established in canines, and the tumors has been proposed as a model for st udying ifs human counterparts. Herein we report canine malignant retroperit oneal seminoma in a 4-year-old castrated Basset hound, most likely without testicular involvement, similar to that of the classic seminoma of humans.
