Q

What do cryptorchid testes look like?

A

Small and fibrotic

Hypoplasia

17
Q

What do you see under microscope with cryptorchid testes?

A

Interstitial collagen deposition

Only a few spermatogonia - thermal suppression of spermatogenesis occurs

18
Q

Is tumour formation risk increased in retained testes?

A

YES (dogs)

19
Q

What causes testicular hypoplasia?

A

Nutrition
Zn deficiency
Genetic, endocrine or cytogenetic abnormalities

20
Q

What do hypoplastic testes look like (gross)?

A

Small but normal consistency

21
Q

When does testicular hypoplasia occur? And when is it observed?

A

Occurs: congenital or pre-puberty
Observed: post puberty when testes start to grow

22
Q

Microscopic appearance of hypoplastic testes

A

Absent or incomplete spermatogenesis with hypoplastic and normal tubules

SEE LECTURE

23
Q

When does testicular atrophy occur?

A

After puberty

24
Q

Causes of testicular atrophy

A 
Increased scrotal temperature
Decreased testicular blood supply
Vitamin A deficiency 
Zn deficiency 
Drug reactions
Radiation damage
Obstruction 
Hyperoestrogenism
25
Q

Is testicular atrophy unilateral or bilateral? And what causes this?

A

BOTH
Unilateral - Local causes
Bilateral - Systemic causes

26
Q

Gross appearance of atrophic testicles

A

Small and firm (similar to hypoplastic)

27
Q

Microscopic appearance of atrophic testes

A

SEE LECTURE

28
Q

3 causes of orchitis (testicular inflammation)

A
  1. Haematogenous
  2. Trauma
  3. Reflux orchitis
29
Q

What disease causes orchitis?

A

Brucella abortus in bulls (haematogenous spread)

30
Q

What is reflux orchitis?

A

Ascending infection from epididymis, prostate, bladder, urethra

31
Q

What is the main cause of epididymitis?

A

Ascending infection

32
Q

What is seen with epididymitis?

A

Enlargement
Abscess
Granuloma formation

33
Q

Is the tail usually affected in epididymitis?

A

No

34
Q

Is epididymitis usually unilateral or bilateral?

A

Unilateral

35
Q

What is a secondary effect on the testes due to epidymitis?

A

Testicular atrophy and degeneration due to increased pressure and heat from the epididymis

36
Q

What are the main bacterial causes of epididymitis?

A

Mixed infections involving coliforms, staphylococci, and streptococci

37
Q

What is a haematogenous infectious cause of epididymitis in ram?

A

Brucella Ovis

NOTIFABLE

38
Q

What is an ascending infectious cause of epididymitis in the ram?

A

Actinobacillus seminis
Histophilus somni
E coli
