“…Regarding another effect of hyperestrogenemia, the preputial cytology of Case 2 exhibited exfoliative, superficial epithelial cells similar to the vaginal cytology of female dogs in estrus, which corresponds with a report that the preputial cytology of male dogs that have hyperestrogenemia (>40 pmol/L) exhibited superficial epithelial cells [10]. Recently, it has been reported that neoplastic Sertoli cells in dogs produce a significantly high MIF level compared with healthy Sertoli cells [11, 12]. If we had detected the level of AMH in both cases, the patient in Case 2, which had SCT, might have exhibited a higher level of AMH compared with the patient in Case 1 with no SCT.…”

BackgroundPersistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS), a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism in dogs, is an abnormal sexual phenotype in males that is characterized by the existence of a hypoplastic oviduct, uterus, and cranial part of the vagina. Dogs suffering from PMDS are often accompanied by cryptorchidism. To date, it has been mainly found in the Miniature Schnauzer breed.Case presentationIn this report, two cases of PMDS with a malignant testicular tumor originating from cryptorchidism in breeds other than the Miniature Schnauzer breed are described. The patients were a seven-year-old male Maltese dog and a 17-year-old male mixed-breed dog weighing 3.8 kg. They also exhibited an enlarged prostate with or without abscess and an elevated serum estradiol level and were surgically treated to remove the testicular tumor and Müllerian duct derivatives.ConclusionsIt is recommended that PMDS should be differentially diagnosed by ultrasonography and that orchiectomy be performed at an early age in patients suspected to have cryptorchidism to prevent the ectopic testes from becoming tumorous.

“…A higher concentration of AMH in intact dogs than in castrated dogs has been reported previously (Ano and others 2014). Likewise, evaluating AMH concentrations in castrated, intact and cryptorchid stallions, Claes and others (2013) found significantly higher concentrations of AMH in intact and cryptorchid stallions than in castrated stallions.…”

“…Ano and others (2014) observed a considerably higher concentration of AMH in a cryptorchid dog with Sertoli cell tumour than in intact dogs. Claes and others (2013) reported higher concentrations of AMH in cryptorchid stallions than in intact stallions.…”

“…In males, AMH is produced by the Sertoli cell [5]. Anti-Müllerian hormone assays have also been used to evaluate fertility and gonadal pathology in humans and domestic animals [6][7][8][9][10]. In women, serum AMH concentrations decrease with age, independently of the menstrual cycle and the number of pregnancies [7].…”
