Background. Hyperpentaploidy in testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (TNSGCT) has been associated with progression of disease of patients who initially had TNSGCT in Stage I. Methods. The authors used flow cytometry to investigate the relationship between ploidy and the clinical behavior in
We report a case of Leydig cell tumor of the testis in a young man, in whom preoperative diagnosis was achieved by fine-needle aspiration biopsy cytology. Cytology, histology, and ultrastructural examination showed diagnostic Reinke's crystals, both in nuclei and in cytoplasm. Immunohistochemistry d
Autopsy findings are reviewed in 154 patients treated for germ cell tumors of the testis. OF the patients with apparently pure seminoma, 44% had autopsy evidence of nonseminomatous metastases. For all tumor types, the most common sites of distant metastasis were lung (89%), liver (73%), brain (31%),
