Testicular Neoplasia - Fremont-Smith Flashcards
germ cell tumors
seminomatous
non-seminomatous
sex cord stromal tumors
leydig cell tumor
sertoli cell tumor
lymphoma
older men
non-hodgkin diffuse B cell lymphoma
seminomatous
seminoma - young men
spermatocytic seminoma - older men
non-seminomatous
embryonal carcinoma - common
yolk sac tumor
choriocarcinoma
teratoma
often mixed
torsion of testicle
breakdown of blood/testicle barrier
- immune system recognize germ cells/sperm as foreign
- 10% develop infertility
get immune response against unaffected testicle
-poor sperm quality
cryptorchidism
hypospadius
poor sperm quality
testicular dysgenesis syndrome
associated with seminomatous and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors
tunica albuginea
surrounding seminiferous tubules
contains the germ cells and sperm
sertoli cell surround germ cell
leydig cells - surrounding fibrosis
sertoli cell
surround maturing sperm
-important interaction
germ cell CIS
exist before boy is born
- CIS child born with
- idiopathic
90% tumors in male
germ cell
- seminoma - majority
- embryonal - NSGCT
- mixed - both
malignant
malignant
germ cell tumors
yolk sac tumor
teratoma
spermatocytic seminoma
benign
sertoli cell tumor
leydig cell tumor
sex cord stromal tumor
i12p
genetic marker in germ cell tumors
germ cell tumors
good response to chemotherapy
most common neoplasm young adult men
germ cell tumors of testis
GCT
risk factors for GCT
abnormal testis
fam hx - KT and BAK
white
brothers 8-10x risk
path of GCT
precursor malignant cell develops in fetus and is activated at puberty
abnormal chromosome i12p
spermatogonia GCT
seminoma
primitive germ cell GCT
embryonal carcinoma
mets of GCT
periaortic abdominal lymph nodes
painless testicular mass with HCG, LDH, aFP
GCT
