Histopathology and Biology of Testicular Germ Cell Tumor
نویسنده
چکیده
The versatile histopathology, clinical presentation, and biologic behavior of testicular neoplasms reflect the complex composition of the male gonad. Each component can develop different tumor types; thus, there are testicular germ cell tumor (TGT), sex cord/stromal tumor, miscellaneous tumors arising from rete testis or paratesticular structures, and tumors not specific to testicular parenchyma, such as lymphoma or mesenchymal neoplasms. All these varieties pose a challenge to both pathologists and clinicians regarding their diagnosis and treatment.

Testicular cancer represents approximately 1% of all cancers diagnosed in males. The prevalence of bilateral testicular germ cell tumor cases varies from 1% to 5%. Intratubular germ cell neoplasia (ITGCN) is a precursor for almost all testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) and is one of the highest risks of developing contralateral testicular cancer. The radical orchiectomy is still preferred for t...
