-*TESTICULAR HYPOPLASIA
-Maybe spontaneous or associated with intersex or cryptorchidism. Can occur in all species.
-Is confined to descended testicles (cf. cryptorchid testes).
-May be bilateral and/or unilateral.
-Usually detected at or after puberty because of lowered / lack of fertility.
-Development of accessory genitalia is normal, i.e.  hormone secretion unimpaired.
-Aetiology:
-#Genetic factors:sex-linked autosomal recessive gene (Swedish Red cattle).
-#Environmental factors:Zn deficiency,ecological/organo-phosphorous compounds?
-#Hormonal factors:endocrine deficiency.
-#Chromosomal abnormalities:XXY Klinefelters syndrome - all species. Male tortoiseshell cats (XXY).
-Gross:small, freely movable in scrotum.
-<br>Histologically:mild (<50% of tubules hypoplastic) to severe, seminiferous tubules small lined by Sertoli cells only. No significant inflammatory reaction
