Diagnosis value of fine needle aspiration cytology in testicular disorders of red deer (Cervus elaphus): a case report

We used fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to diagnose Sertoli cell-only pattern and hypospermatogenesis in an Iberian red deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus). Cytologic diagnosis was confirmed by histology and epididymal sperm analysis. We conclude that FNAC can be an important diagnostic tool in testicular diseases of wildlife.Eliana Pintus and José Luis Ros-Santaella are supported by grants CIGA 20145001 and 99830/1181/1822 (Czech University of Life Sciences).Peer Reviewe
