Abstract
Seventy-seven Lewis adult rats received autologous testicular implants in the spleen. These spleens were retransplanted in a consecutive transplant fashion as we described earlier. Some were observed as long as 26 to 27 months. Although earlier splenic-testicular transplants showed benign granulosa cell tumors, some of the long-term follow-ups showed a seminoma-like transformation.
