Testicular tumors and STDs Dr. Basu MD
Our topic • Classification of testicular tumor. • Seminoma • Embryonal carcinoma • Yolk sac tumor • Choriocarcinoma • Teratoma • Diagnosis of these tumors
What you should know about a Testicular tumor • Age • Gross and microscopy • Markers • Clinical Presentation
Classification of testicular tumor. • Tumor arising from the Germ cells • Tumor arising from Leydig cells( produce endocrine abnormality). • Tumor arising from Sertoli cells.
Tumor arising from the Germ cells • Tumors with one histological pattern • Seminoma • Embryonal carcinoma • Yolk sac tumor • Choriocarcinoma • Teratoma • Tumor with more than one histological pattern • Miscellaneous
Seminoma [Classic] • Most common types of testicular neoplasm. • Age : 15 to 34 years • Note: • Some Seminoma may contain trophoblastic content. • In these type of Seminoma Beta-HCG will be mildly elevated.
Variant of Seminoma Variant : Spermatocytic Seminoma • In this case metastasis is rare, common in old people. • Three types of cell are seen • large multinucleated cells, • medium size cells and • small cells that reminiscent of spermatocytes
Seminoma Gross Features : large, soft, homogenous, grey-white
Seminoma : Microscopy • Seminoma cells ([ PAS positive] : Large cells with distinct border , round nuclei and prominent nucleoli. • Lymphocytes, plasma cell in stroma.
Seminoma counterpart in Ovary DYSGERMINOMA
Embryonal carcinoma Age : 20-30 years. Features : • Often multiple metastasis is present at the time of diagnosis. • Often it contain other foci of Yolk sac tumor, teratoma and Chorio-carcinoma. • So both AFP and beta hcG will be elevated ( non specific)
Embryonal carcinoma Features : Red to tan to brown areas, including prominent hemorrhage and necrosis.
Embryonal carcinoma and Teratoma [ Teratocarcinoma] Features : Chondroid white areas (teratoma) in a Embryonal carcinoma.
Teratoma in testis • Age = all ages • Almost always malignant ( unlike ovary – where it is usually benign)
Yolk sac tumor [ endodermal sinus tumor] • Age : 3 years • Histology : Presence of Schiller –Duvall body ( glomeruloid body) • Specific Marker = AFP
Schillar Duval body – glomeruloid structurein yolk sac tumor ; locate it
Choriocarcinoma • Age = 20 -30 • Pure Chorio carcinoma is rare in testis. • It is always mixed with Teratoma, or other tumor even with Seminoma. • Histology : Malignant cyto and syncytiotrophoblast without villous formation. • Specific Marker = beta hcG
Mixed tumor • Add………….
Leydig cell tumor : Clinical features Small( 1-3 cm), nodular, circumscribed tumor, yellowish in colour Bilateral gyenecomastia and testicular enlargement force the patient to seek medical assistance.
Quiz : name the markers AFP hcG AFP hcG AFP and hcG
Testicular tumor; clinical features • Painless swelling • Seminoma usually confined to testis. • Other non-seminomatous tumor widely metastasize . • Metastasis occur by both hematgenous and lymphatic route.
Secondary syphilis Strongly Positive both • Anti treponomal antibody test and • Nontrepomomal test
Positive anti treponomal antibody test. Negative – Nontrepomomal antibody test Syphilis
Condylomata acuminata ( HPV infection type 6,11) : Genital Warts
Gonorrhea ; clinical features • Male : Epididymitis, may involve prostate. • Female : salpingitis, infertility • Infants ( during delivery) : Purulent infection of the eye : Ophthalmia neonatorum).
Lymphogranuloma Venereum, LGV lymphadenopathy. Mixed Granulomatous and neutrophilic inflammation.
Diagnosis - LGV • Demonstration of organism in Biopsy section / exudates- in active lesion. • ELISA performed on serum.
“Soft chancre” –Chancroid in Hemophilus ducreyiinfection. Ulcer contain yellowish exudates.
Syphilis ( Primary- Painless clear base ulcer, no exudates) ; hard chancre
Syphilis ( secondary – maculopapular rash) Histology shows plasma cells and lymphocytes
Syphilis - Secondary :: Condylomata lata -This broad base, elevated lesion seen in the moist areas.
Cause of false positive VDRL test • SLE • Lepromatous leprosy • Pregnancy • Antiphospholipid syndrome
Granuloma Inguinale ; ulcerated papular lesion Calymmatobacterium donovani
Genital herpes simplex: Painful erythematous vesicles Etiology : HSV type 2 and 1
