Overview

Testicular cancer must be differentiated from epididymitis, hematocele, hydrocele, spermatocele, granulomatous orchitis, and varicocele.

Differentiating Testicular cancer from other Diseases

Testicular cancer must be differentiated from:

Diseases Benign/ Malignant Unilateral/Bilateral History Demography Metastasis Genetics Clinical manifestations Para-clinical findings
Symptoms Physical examination Lab findings Imaging Histopathology
Pain Mass AFP Beta hCG p-ALP
Germ Cell tumors
Seminoma[1][2]
  • Most common among age of 15-35 years old
  • Does not occur during infancy
Stains positively for: - + N/A N/A Ultrasound:
Embryonal carcinoma[3]
  • Rare type
  • Peak incidence at the age of 30 years old
  • Usually mixed with other types
Early metastasis to: Stains positively for:

May stain positively for :

+ ± ↑* N/A Ultrasound:
Yolk sac tumor[4][5]
  • Unilateral
  • Common among Asian
  • Uncommon
Stains positively for: + + N/A N/A Ultrasound:

MRI:

  • Schiller-Duval bodies (perivascular structures)
  • Hyaline-type globules
Teratoma[6][7]
  • Unilateral
Congenital disease such as:
  • May present in both prepubertal and adult men
  • Uncommon in benign ones among prepubertal men

Stains positively for:

- + N/A Ultrasound:
Choriocarcinoma[8][9]
  • Most aggressive type
Early metastasis: Stains positively for: + ± N/A N/A Ultrasound:
Mixed germ cell tumors[10][11]
  • Unilateral
  • Two or more germ cell tumors present as a single mass
  • Depends on underlying components
  • May stain positive based on underlying components
± + N/A
  • Imaging findings based on underlying components
Carcinoma in situ (intratubular germ cell neoplasia )[12][13][14]
  • Unilateral
  • Bilateral
Common:

Stain positively for:

- -
  • N/A
N/A N/A
  • N/A
Diseases Benign/ Malignant Unilateral/Bilateral History Demography Metastasis Genetics Pain Mass Physical exam AFP Beta hCG p-ALP Imaging Histopathology
Non-germ cell tumors
Leydig cell tumor[15]
  • Unilateral
  • Slowly enlarging painless unilateral mass

Stains positively for:

- + N/A N/A N/A Ultrasound:
Sertoli cell tumor[16][17][18]
  • Unilateral
  • Bilateral
Stain positively for: - + N/A N/A N/A Ultrasound:
  • Large cell calcifying variant
  • Hypoechoic
Testicular lymphoma[19][20][21]
  • Unilateral
  • Bilateral ( mostly up to 35% of cases)
  • The most common in men older than 50 years old
Common metastasis to : Stains positively for: - + ↑ or ↓ ↑ or ↓ N/A Ultrasound:
Granulosa cell tumors[22][23]
  • Unilateral

Juvenile type associated with:

Stains positively for: - + N/A N/A N/A Ultrasound:
