[Diagnostic problems in testicular tumours in consultant pathology : A practical guide]. / Diagnostische Probleme bei Hodentumoren in der Konsiliarpathologie : Ein praktischer Leitfaden.

ABSTRACT

The great variety of pathological patterns in germ cell tumours, especially in yolk sac tumours but also the possibility of somatic-type malignancies, can complicate daily diagnosis. For the correct diagnosis, knowledge of morphological aspects and additional immunohistochemical staining can be helpful. Also, rare entities like sex cord stromal tumours, tumours of testicular adnexa or mesenchymal tumours of the spermatic cord can be diagnostically challenging.
