“…However, a decrease in echogenicity was observed with increasing age, which was most likely due to an increase in vessel diameter, glandular lumen size, and prostatic ducts and a reduction in stromal tissue and collagen fibers [5,23].…”

“…Although there is a wealth of data related to prostatic size and diameter in studies that have been conducted to date, the canine prostatic assessment remains subjective because of the large variation in the breeds and sizes studied [1][2][3]. Moreover, descriptions of sonographic characteristics have only differentiated among prepubertal, pubertal, and castrated animals [5], and there are no descriptions of sonographic changes with advancing age.…”

“…The ultrasonographic exam was essential to characterize the morphology of the canine prostate and detect probable cavity lesions. The round form was reported previously (Cartee and Rowles 1983, Cooney et al 1992, Bussadori 1993. Prostate homogeneity texture was reported (Bus- Matoon and Nyland 1995), but it is still a controversy.…”

RESUMENLa incidencia de cáncer de próstata ha incrementado el uso de los marcadores celulares para detectar el cáncer en este tejido. Antígenos específicos del tejido o antígenos de diferenciación se encuentran en la superficie de las células normales. Clínicamente, estos antígenos son importantes para el diagnóstico de alteraciones en estos tejidos y para la inmunoterapia. Este estudio trata de evaluar la importancia de la fosfatasa ácida prostática en la próstata canina e investigar su concentración en el suero y en el plasma seminal de perros saludables de diferentes edades. La concentración de fosfatasa ácida prostática en el plasma seminal y en el suero fue evaluada por espectrofotometría, utilizando un kit comercial. Los niveles de la fosfatasa ácida prostática (PAP) no fueron diferentes de acuerdo con la edad y no presentaron correlación con la edad o con las dimensiones de las próstatas verificadas por ecografía. Los valores de concentración de PAP presentaron una gran variación en cada grupo. Sin embargo, son necesarios más estudios para evaluar el papel de la fosfatasa ácida prostática en la próstata canina y su importancia como una prueba de diagnóstico para los trastornos de la próstata.Palabras clave: fosfatasa ácida prostática, próstata, plasma seminal, suero. SUMMARYThe incidence of prostatic malignancy has increased the use of tissue markers to detect cancer. Tissue specific antigens or differentiation antigens are found on the surface of normal cells. Clinically, these antigens are important to diagnose alterations in the tissues and for immunotherapy. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prostatic acid phosphatase concentration in blood and seminal plasma of intact and healthy dogs at different ages. The evaluation was carried out by spectrophotometer, using a commercial kit. The prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) levels did not differ according to the age and did not correlate with age or prostatic dimensions verified by ultrasonography. The PAP concentration values varied greatly within each group. However, more studies are necessary to evaluate the role of prostatic acid phosphatase in the canine prostate and its importance as a diagnostic test for prostate disorders.

“…Interstitial cell tumors are composed of small nodules that may be singular or become confluent to form large nodular masses; they are poorly encapsulated and are yellowish, soft, and greasy on cut surface. [68][69][70][71][72] The ultrasonographic appearance of testicular neoplasms varies and is not specific for tumor type (Figures 17-33 to [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Sertoli cell tumors often cause testicular enlargement and are associated with feminizing syndrome and bone marrow suppression due to high estrogen production.…”
