Abstract

SUMMARY True bilateral hermaphroditism was diagnosed in a 4-year-old Beagle. The dog had a normal vagina with a phallus protruding from the vulva and a bicornuate uterus with gonads attached. Histopathologically, bilateral ovotestes, vas deferens, epididymis, and os penis were identified. The dog was a genetic female as determined by karyotype analysis of leukocytes.
