title: Cytogenetical and histopathologic study of two cases of polled goats.
abstract: Two young intersexed polled goats, with ambiguous outside male genital apparatus and marked hypospadias, were studied at cytogenetical and anatomo-histopathological level. One subject presented a female karyotype (60,XX) whilst the other had a 60,XX/60,XY chimerism, with 5% of 60,XY lymphocytes. The anatomo-histopathologic study of the chimeric subject revealed very small testicles, epididymis ecstasy and atrophic part in the testicular parenchyma.
