Dogs with unpigmented skin on the nose may develop this cancer from long-term sun exposure.
Testicular tumors Testicular tumors are the most common tumor of the canine male reproductive tract. Tumor types include Sertoli cell tumor, seminoma, and interstitial cell tumor. None commonly metastasize.

Uterine cancer Uterine cancer is very rare in dogs. The most common type is benign leiomyoma.
