An Accidental Male Pseudohermaphroditism in a Goat

Abstract

The study describes a male pseudohermaphroditism that observed on a 1-year-old Saanen goat. In inspection, although there was a couple papilla mamma developed, no mammary gland tissue was determined. There were no ovaries, but there was a ligament anatomically resemble inguinal fold with an attachment to the testicles. The right and left testicles were in an elliptical shape with dimensions of 27.43 x 30.45 and 23.33 x 27.94 mm and weighing 26.38 and 24.56 grams respectively. Uterus, cervix, vagina, vulva and the clitoris were developed. In microscopic examination of testicular tissue, the testicular tissue was covered by the edematous tunica albuginea. Although seminiferous tubules have sertoli cells and spermatogonium, there were no other developmental stages of spermatogonium. The nuclei of sertoli cells and spermatogonium were necrotic. The thickening of basal membranes tubules was noticed. The interstitial tissue between tubules was edematous. There was calcium deposition in some tubules. In some cystic seminiferous tubules, intratubular localizated, homogeneous pinkish colored deposition was found and the basement membrane covering tubules was observed thinner than the other area. In sections taken from the uterine corn, glands in propria mucosa were hyperplastic. There was mononuclear cell infiltration in submucosa, mostly formed by macrophages. After anatomic and pathologic investigation, it was reported male pseudohermaphroditism in a Saanen goat which has female phenotype.
