RESUMO
This study aimed to evaluate the biometric and histological aspects of the testicles of horses Baixadeiro.Four stallions were used, with a mean age of 3,88 ± 1,24. The right and left testicles were measured for length,width, height and total scrotal width. The testicular volume was also determined and histological fragmentswere removed parenchyma of testis stained with H-E. There was no statistical difference between the linearmeasurements of the right testis and left (P > 0,05). The weight of the testes showed differences (P < 0,05) dueto the characteristics of the evaluated animals (cryptorchidism, testicular asymmetry). Histologically, bothshowed edema and hemorrhage as testicular degeneration. Thus, the animals showed values of scrotalcircumference lower than expected for the species, and testicular diseases, not being considered fit toreproduction.

This work aims to report the occurrence of a mixed testicular neoplasm, seminoma associated withsertolioma, in the ectopic testis located in the left inguinal canal of a dog. A 9-year-old male poodle dog wastreated at the Small Animal Clinic of the Veterinary Hospital of the State University of Maranhão (HVU-Uema),presenting thrombocytopenic haemorrhagic purpura and swelling of firm contents in the left inguinal region,with pain on palpation of the area. In the cytology analysis it was observed high cellularity composed by twodistinct cell types. Thus, according to the clinical and cytopathological findings, it was diagnosed Semenomaassociated with Sertolioma. It is an important finding, since the method of diagnosis by cytology is not verysensitive in the joint detection of these two neoplasms.
