Abstract
Testicular tumors are rarely reported in rabbits. In this case study, a 4-year-old Holland lop rabbit, previously diagnosed with unilateral cryptorchidism, was presented because of enlargement of the descended testis. The rabbit was clinically normal. Following unilateral orchiectomy and scrotal ablation, histopathological analysis revealed 2 distinct types of testicular tumor in the descended testis: a granular cell tumor and a seminoma. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first documented report of simultaneous testicular tumors in the testis of a rabbit with unilateral cryptorchidism.

A report suggesting that animals have been unnecessarily subjected to adverse, stressful, or harsh conditions or treatments will not be processed for publication. Experimental studies using animals will only be considered for publication if the studies have been approved by an institutional animal care committee, or equivalent, and the guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care, or equivalent, have been followed by the author(s).
