Overview

On microscopic histopathological analysis of testicular cancer, fried-egg appearance is the characteristic finding of seminoma; marked nuclear atypia is the characteristic finding of embryonal carcinoma; blander cytomorphology, hyaline-type globules, and Schiller-Duval bodies are characteristic findings of yolk sac tumor ; syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblast cells are the characteristic findings of choriocarcinoma.

Pathogenesis

Germ cells tumors

  • Seminomas and non seminotous germ cell tumors have similar pathogenesis[1]
  • Aneuploid
  • Loss of chromosomes 4,5,11,13,18, and Y
  • Gain of chromosomes 7,8,12, and X
  • More than 90% of all testicular cancers are germ cell tumors. This type of cancer starts in germ cells, which are the cells that develop into sperms.
  • About 50% of all germ cell tumors are seminomas, or seminomatous germ cell tumours. They grow slower than non-seminomas.
  • Overrepresentation of short arm of chromosomes 12p may be related to invasive growth of seminomas and nonseminomatous testicular cancer.[2]
  • Seminomas tumors may have both genetic and immune components due to lymphocytes infiltration in HIV patients.[3]
  • Histological of seminomas tumor in HIV patients: tumor infiltrated by lymphocytes which may lead to weak immune system response.[3]
  • familial contribution:[4]
      • Gene on chromosome Xq27 may be related to testicular germ cell tumors

Microscopic Pathology

Germ cell Tumors[5]

  • Clonal proliferation of neoplastic germ cells
  • Fried-egg appearance
  • Non-seminomas
  • Marked nuclear atypia
  • Blander cytomorphology
  • Hyaline-type globules
  • Schiller-Duval bodies
  • Both syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblast cells

Genetics

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of renal oncocytoma include:[7]

  • 4q22
  • 7q22
  • 16q22.3
  • 17q22
