Abstract:
An adult pet rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) presented with a progressively enlarging left testicle. Because neoplasia was suspected, the testicle was removed. Pathologic evaluation (exfoliative cytology, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy) indicated that the tumor was an intratesticular granular cell tumor. Granular cell tumor has not been described in rabbits before and has not been described in the testes of animals or postnatal humans. Granular cell tumor should be included as a differential diagnosis of testicular tumors, particularly Leydig cell tumor, because of potential histologic similarities.
