Abstract:

In China, the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is an endangered and rare national first-class protected animal with important research and ecological value. Tumor poses a serious threat to animal health. In this paper, a giant panda testicular tumor was diagnosed by macro and histopathologic examination, which aims to supplement the relevant data of giant panda tumor research, and also provides a reference for the diagnosis of giant panda tumor. Macro examination found that the testis was swollen about twice and the sheath was intact. The parenchyma was uniform in texture, grayish white with gray yellow caseous necrosis in the center. Histopathologically, the normal tissue structure of testis was lost and eroded by tumor cells. The tumor cells were similar to spermatogonia, round or polygonal, but with larger size, hyperchromatic cytoplasm and increased nuclear chromatin. Pathologic mitotic phases were found in tumor cells, and necrosis lesions with different sizes are distributed in tumor tissues. On the basis of macro and histopathologic examination results, the tumor was diagnosed as seminoma (also known as germ cell carcinoma), which is the first report of testicular seminoma in the giant panda.
