Q

If embryonal carcinoma undergoes furtherembryonic embryonic differentiation, it is a ____

A

teratoma

22
Q

intratubular germ cell neoplasia (ITGCNU)

A

cancer cells are confined to tubules –> seen adjacent to all germ cell tumors in adults except spermatocytic seminoma

23

most common pure germ cell tumor composed of relatively uniform cells with abundant clear cytoplasm ,well defined cell borders, and nuclei with one or more prominent nucleoli.

A

seminomaq

24
Q

_____ are like seminomas but occur in extragonadal sites

A

germinomas or dysgerminomas in females

25
Q

T/F most seminomas are painless

A

T

26
Q

In seminoma which serum markers are negative?

A

HCG and AFP

27
Q

Seminomas are associated with infiltration by what kind of cell?

A

lymphocte

28
Q

Germ cell tumor composed of cells with epithelial appearance and marked cytologic atypia.

A

embryonal carcinoma

29
Q

Prognosis of embryonal carcinoma

A

poorest of GCT –> very aggressive with metastasis

30

Cure rate of seminoma

A

stage 1 and 2 > 95%

31
Q

Cure rate of embryonal carcinoma

A

stage 1 > 95

32

A

yolk sac tumor

33
Q

T/F embyronal carcinoma does not occur in children

A

T

34
Q

T/F yolk sac tumors do not occur in children

A

F –> 75% of childhood testicular tumors are YST

35
Q

Lacelike or reticular growth pattern

A

YST

36
Q

Schiller Duval bodies

A

structures resembling endodermal sinus = yst

37
Q

High serum AFP is associated with what kind of tumor?

A

YST

38
Q

Prognosis of YST children vs adults

A

children do better

39
Q

GCT composed of mononucleated cytotrophoblast and multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast

choriocarcinoma

40
Q

Hemorrhage is a hallmark of what GCT?

A

choriocarcinoma

41
Q

High HCG is associated with what GCT

A

choriocarcinoma –> higher hcg = worse prognosis (worst of all GCTs)

A

teratoma

43
Q

Mature teratoma

A

can recognize matured aspects like teeth or glands (vs. immature when there is lots of undifferentiated cells)

44
