Contralateral biopsies from 1810 consecutive patients with testicular germ-cell tumor were examined immunohistologically by staining for placental alkaline phosphatase. Contralateral testicular intraepithelial neoplasia (TIN; carcinoma in situ) was found in 89 patients (4.9%; 95% confidence interval
In order to investigate the genetics of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), we examined 33 TGCTs, including 15 familial/bilateral and 18 sporadic tumors, using comparative genomic hybridization. The frequencies of the histological subtypes were comparable between the two groups. Gains of the whole
Eight patients with mediastinal or retroperitoneal germ cell tumors who had undergone testicular biopsy or orchiectomy were retrospectively analyzed for primary testicular abnormalities, subfertility, and abnormal sex hormone levels. Testicular tissue was abnormal in all patients, revealing peritubu
