Is anti-müllerian hormone useful for monorchidism diagnosis in the tomcat?
Top Companion Anim Med
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Reproduction and Population Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University, Salisburylaan 133, 9820 Merelbeke, Belgium.
Monorchidism is an uncommon condition in tomcats, defined by the congenital absence of one of the testicles. Due to the lack of information regarding possible biomarkers, most monorchidism cases require laparotomy in order to differentiate it from cryptorchidism. Human data suggest that monorchid patients have lower serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels when compared to cryptorchids, premises that has been also scrutinized in veterinary medicine.

Unlabelled: Testicular cancer is the most frequent type of cancer in the young adult men, it is relatively rare. Infertility is an important risk factor for testicular cancer, with a doubled risk of developing cancer compared to the general population. The standard treatment for testicular cancer is the radical orchiectomy, but partial orchiectomy or testicular sparing surgery (TSS) is indicated for small masses, as many experiences, have shown that many small masses found incidentally turn out to be benign.

Background: Contralateral Testis Hypertrophy (CTH) is a clinical marker that could be used to guide the choice of the main surgical strategy. In patients with a Non-palpable Testis (NPT), the degree of CTH as measured by testicular length or volume has been shown to be able to predict whether the undescended testis will survive.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish the proper cut-off for identifying non-viable testes based on the current literature.
Monorchidism in a Phenotypic Mare With a 64,XY, SRY-Positive Karyotype.

Department of Population Health and Reproduction, University of California, Davis, CA.
Article Synopsis
- Disorders of Sexual Development (DSD) in horses involve atypical sex characteristics, which are likely underreported in the equine population.
- A case study details a 4-year-old Quarter Horse mare showing male-like behavior, leading to the discovery of a single testicular gonad and the diagnosis of monorchidism after detailed assessments, including imaging and hormonal tests.
- The diagnosis was confirmed through surgery, hormonal evaluations before and after, and detailed molecular analysis, demonstrating how various clinical methods can assist in diagnosing DSD conditions.

IAMB Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari, Bari, Italy.
Anorchia is a rare and often poorly understood disorder of sexual development. In the present case report, we used a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose a case of anorchia in a 30-month old dog. The diagnostic process began with gathering the dog medical history followed by a clinical visit with the patient, which included a general wellness examination as well as an examination of the genital system.
