Purpose: In this study the effect of continuous stimulation of gonadotropins on sex cord stromal tumors in the rat was examined.
Methods: Sex cord stromal tumors were induced by transplantation of ovaries under the splenic capsule of ovariectomized rats. Beginning 180 days after transplantation, these tumors were taken out and cut into several pieces, which were then retransplanted (by isotransplantation) under the splenic capsule of 80 either intact or ovariectomized rats.
Results: Most of the tumor grafts grew up to a median size of 0.7 cm in ovariectomized rats. However, some of the tumors recovered from recipient rats that were retransplanted with donor tumors differed significantly from the others. Characterized by a high mitotic rate, nuclear atypia, size (up to 3.8 cm) as well as growth in intact animals, these tumors were defined as malignant. They could be kept in culture and always led to the development of metastases after retransplantation into other rats.
Conclusion: Benign sex cord stromal tumors can show malignant growth after transplantation. This study for the first time demonstrates that gonadotropins are involved in the induction of ovarian malignancies.

Sex cord-stromal tumors are rare in pediatric patients. Leydig cell tumors are a rare subset of sex cord-stromal tumors characterized by unique molecular alterations, including TERT fusions and mutations of CTNNB1, FOXO4, TP53, NBN, MTOR, BAP1, MEN1, and CREBBP. We report a case of a testicular Leydig cell tumor with an EWSR1::CREM fusion, which to our knowledge has not been previously reported in this setting.

Introduction: Sertoli cell tumors are rare sex cord-stromal tumors, accounting for less than 1% of primary testicular tumors. They typically arise in the testes and ovaries, with other localizations being uncommon. We present the case of a Sertoli cell tumor in the adrenal gland, which, to our knowledge, is the first reported in the literature.

Congenital neoplasms are rare and sporadic in cattle and can cause losses due to abortions and perinatal or neonatal deaths. The etiopathogenesis of congenital tumors in bovine fetuses and neonates is largely unknown, and their diagnosis is often challenging. Here we review the literature on congenital tumors in cattle and report 11 additional cases diagnosed at veterinary diagnostic laboratories in Argentina, Uruguay, the United States, and the United Kingdom, namely 4 congenital lymphomas, 3 mesotheliomas, 2 adenomatoid tumors, 1 lymphangioma, and 1 ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor in bovine fetuses and/or neonatal calves.

Umbilical diseases are associated with a decreased market value and increased mortality in calves, and laparotomy is often performed in the field. This retrospective study compared the effects of inhalation anesthesia (INH) and injection anesthesia (INJ) during the perioperative period. We analyzed the medical records of 57 Japanese black calves that underwent laparotomy for umbilical diseases (umbilical hernia and/or umbilical cord disease) between January 2017 and December 2023.

Cyclophosphamide (CTX) exposure causes premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). The therapeutic potential of exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) is not fully understood, especially regarding whether hypoxic preconditioning enhances their efficacy in POI. In this study, exosomes were isolated and identified from hucMSCs (hucMSCs-Exos) under hypoxic (HExos) and normoxic (NExos) conditions.
