Overview

Differing from the other types of testicular cancers, the embryonal carcinoma can have several of the properties of a mal-developed fetus, including cartilage. The main tumor is, on average, 2.5 centimeters long and can also stem out approximately 9 centimeters up the testicular cord. Embryonal carcinomas are usually seen in males age 25-35, but have also hit males as young as their late teens. The chances of an embryonal carcinoma spreading from one testicle to the other are less than 1%. Embryonal carcinomas account for approximately 40% of testicular tumors.

Rarely, embryonal carcinomas are seen in females, in the ovaries.
