Study Notes
Testicular Tumors
- 30-50% of testicular germ cell tumors are seminomas, also present in mediastinum, pineal gland (germinoma), and retroperitoneum
- 3 elevations in serum: PLAP (placental alkaline phosphatase), LDH (Lactate dehydrogenase), and hCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin)
- Overrepresentation of 12p chromosome sequences, probably KRAS, CCND2, and NANOG
Seminoma Pathologic Findings
- Homogenous well demarcated gray-white with lobulated and bulging cut surface
- Uniform tumor cells with clear cytoplasm (glycogen contents)
- Prominent cell border, large nuclei, and prominent nucleoli
- PLAP (+), Cytokeratin (-), and AFP (normal)
Spermatocytic Tumor
- NOT related to classic seminoma, does NOT arise from intratubular germ cell neoplasia
- Treatment: Orchiectomy
- Poor prognostic factor: Sarcomatous components
- PLAP (-), hCG (-), and AFP (-)
- Pathologic findings: Pale gray, mucoid, edematous, contains 3 cell types (varying from lymphocyte size to giant cells)
Choriocarcinoma
- Cytotrophoblast and Syncytiotrophoblast
- PLAP (+), Cytokeratin (+), and hCG
Testicular Anatomy
- Tunica vaginalis: extension of peritoneal cavity
- Tunica albuginea: fibrous capsule extending into testis, separates into lobules
- Tunica vasculosa: Vascular layer
- Histology of Testes:
- Spermatogenic cells: initiate spermatogenesis
- Sertoli cells: Located in seminiferous tubules
- Leydig cells: In interstitial tissue, endocrine in nature
Penile and Testicular Tumors
- Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PeIN): Intraepithelial squamous cell atypia
- Four variants: Differentiated, Warty, Basaloid, and Warty basaloid
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Most common penile neoplasms, low education, high poverty areas
- Risk factors: Long inner foreskin, HPV, Lichen sclerosis
- Types: Bowen's Dz (in situ), Verrucous Carcinoma
