ABSTRACT
Rahimi-Feyli P., Case of triorchidism
in a ram, Onl J Vet Res., 26 (12): 857-860,
2022. Triorchidism is a rare
congenital disorder defined as the presence of more than two testes. We report
a case of a 3-years-old Sanjabi Ram with three
testes. Diagnosis was confirmed by
microscopy. During necropsy sever bronchopneumonia was detected in lungs, three
testes were found in carcass, two in left and one in right scrotums. a soft mass that is approximately
the same size as left testis, and 1 vas deferens were noted in the left
scrotum. The right testis and vas deferens scrotum were normal. Microscopically, the seminiferous tubular compartment in supernumerary testis
appeared smaller than normal tubules. Spermatogonial
cells, spermatocyte and sertoli cells were present in
seminiferous tubules but mature spermatozoa were not seen.
