Distribution of Features in Regressed
Testicular GCTs
04/04/2016
27
Features of Regressed GCTs
Diagnostic
• Scar + GCNIS
• Scar + coarse
intratubular
calcifications
Suspicious • Scar with
hypervascularity, siderophages &/or lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates
• Scar with peripheral seminiferous tubule atrophy, intratubular granulomas, microlithiasis, and/or Leydig cell hyperplasia
N.B. – Tubular “ghosts” in the scar do not R/O a
regressed GCT
Problems with Metastases
• No prior history of cancer – 62%
• Unilateral involvement – 92%
• Occasional prominent intrarete growth,
especially prostate carcinoma
• Occasional prominent intratubular growth
