The exact pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma is not fully understood. Gonadal development starts at 5 weeks of [[gestation]] and continues according to sex chromosomal contents. Any defects in this complicated process lead to defective gonadal development and [[gonadal dysgenesis]] and subsequently, it can be converted to gonadoblastoma in 20% to 30% of the cases.

Overview

The exact pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma is not fully understood. Gonadal development starts at 5 weeks of gestation and continues according to sex chromosomal contents. Any defects in this complicated process lead to defective gonadal development and gonadal dysgenesis and subsequently, it can be converted to gonadoblastoma in 20% to 30% of the cases.

Pathophysiology

Physiology

Gonadal development starts at 5 weeks of gestation and continues according to sex chromosomal contents. Any defects in this complicated process lead to defective gonadal development and gonadal dysgenesis.[1][2]

Pathogenesis

  • The exact pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma is not completely understood.[3]
  • Gonadoblastoma develop almost exclusively in dysgenetic gonads containing the Y chromosomal contents.
  • The GBY gene locus, localized near the centromere of the Y chromosome, is hypothesized to be the culprit gene locus in the pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma.
  • TSPY gene, one of the genes belonging to GBY locus, is observed to be over-expressed in the gonadoblastoma and other germ cell tumors, although its exact role is still unclear.
  • There are case reports of genotypically normal women individuals with gonadoblastoma that suggests the existence of other mechanisms involving in the pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma.[4][5]
  • It is hypothesized that the genotypically normal female individuals may have the TSPY putative gene on their X chromosomes or autosomes.[5]

Genetics

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma include:

  • TSPY

Associated Conditions

The following disorders are associated with the development of gonadoblastoma:[6][7][8][9][10]

Gonadoblastoma is formed from two different types of cells:[12]

  • Larger cells resembling immature germ cells with varied degrees of atypia and that must be differentiated from the simultaneous invasive germ cell tumor
  • Smaller cells resembling the sex-cord stroma (Granulosa or Sertoli-like cells).
  • Another kind of stromal cells (Leydig cells or Lutein-like cells) can also exist, but their presence is not essential for the diagnosis. They tend to be present greatly after puberty.

The two essential type of cells forms a nest-like space in which, immature germ cells surrounded by sex-cord stromal cells. This nested arrangement is characteristic of gonadoblastoma.

  • The nest is encircled by a basement membrane which can be hyalinized or even calcified.
  • Calcification can be focal or extensive.
  • Focal calcification is found in more than 80% of the individuals.
  • The nodular pattern of hyalinized basement membrane encircled by stromal cells can also be present.

Gonadoblastoma classified pathologically into three forms:[11][13]

  • Classical form which is described above thoroughly.
  • Burnt-out form, in which the cells regress and the remnant is calcified and forms a mulberry-shaped calcification.
  • Dissecting form which has a infiltrative and cord like pattern rather than a nested arrangement. The clinical relevance of this pathologic feature is that, it should be differentiated from germinoma.[14]
