Isochromosome 12p-positive pineal germ cell tumor.
We report the chromosomal characteristics of a recurrent pineal non-seminomatous germ cell tumor in a 16-year-old male patient. This non-seminomatous tumor had the following components: embryonal carcinoma, teratoma, yolk sac tumor, and trophoblastic giant cells. Chromosome analysis showed a near-triploid karyotype (64 chromosomes), including two copies of an isochromosome 12p. This latter find...
متن کاملNodal/Cripto signaling in fetal male germ cell development: implications for testicular germ cell tumors.
Testicular cancer is the most frequent cancer in young men aged 15-40 years and accounts for 1% of all cancer diagnosed in males. Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) encompass a broad group of cancers, each displaying different levels of pluripotency and differentiation as well as malignancy potential. The TGCT cell of origin is thought to be a fetal germ cell that failed to correctly differenti...
متن کاملGerm Cell Tumors Cytogenetic Analysis of 124 Prospectively Ascertained Male
We report the cytogenetic analysis of 124 adult male germ cell tumors ascertained consecutively at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center between 1988 and 1990. Biopsies from testicular and extragonadal pri mary and metastatic lesions studied included all histolÃ3gica!subtypes of germ cell tumors and cases of malignant transformation. Nonrandom numerical and structural chromosomal abnormali...
متن کاملGenetics and biology of adult human male germ cell tumors.
Adult human male germ cell tumors (GCTs) provide a unique opportunity to study the generation of a transformed pluripotential cell from a totipotential GC in lineage differentiation and on the path to gametogenesis. The pluripotentiality of the tumor cells manifests as histological differentiation into GC-like undifferentiated (SE), primitive zygotic (EC), embryonal-like somatically differentia...
