Germ cell testicular tumor with best prognosis, spermatocytic seminoma: a rare case report

Abstract

The spermatocytic seminoma is a different testicular
germ cell neoplasm representing less than 1% of testicular cancers. It has
distinctive clinical and pathological features when compared with classical
seminoma. Diagnosis of spermatocytic seminoma is difficult, especially in
elderly patients, due to its rare occurrence, lack of clinical presentation,
and the difficulty of differential diagnosis with morphologically testicular
lymphoma and classical seminoma. Here we present the clinical presentation,
histopathologic features and prognosis of a spermatocytic seminoma case in the
light of literature information.

Abstract

Spermatocytic
seminom, testiküler kanserlerin %1'inden azını temsil eden farklı bir
testiküler germ hücreli neoplazmdır. Klasik seminomla karşılaştırıldığında
belirgin klinik ve patolojik özelliklere sahiptir. Spermatocytic seminom
tanısı, özellikle yaşlı hastalarda, nadir görülmesi, klinik prezentasyonun
olmaması ve morfolojik testiküler lenfoma ve klasik seminom ile ayırıcı tanıda
zorluğundan dolayı zordur. Burada literatür bilgileri ışığında bir
spermatocytic seminom vakasının klinik prezentasyonu, histopatolojik
özellikleri ve prognozunu sunuyoruz.
