Contents. Testicular cancer. 7.4 × 5.5-cm seminoma in a radical orchiectomy specimen. Testicular cancer is cancer that develops in the testicles, a part of the male reproductive system. [ 2 ] Symptoms may include a lump in the testicle or swelling or pain in the scrotum. [ 2 ] Treatment may result in infertility.
Relative incidences of testicular tumors, showing seminoma at bottom left. [2] A seminoma is a germ cell tumor of the testicle or, more rarely, the mediastinum or other extra-gonadal locations. It is a malignant neoplasm and is one of the most treatable and curable cancers, with a survival rate above 95% if discovered in early stages.
The major native dialects of English are often divided by linguists into three general categories: the British Isles dialects, those of North America, and those of Australasia. [2] Dialects can be associated not only with place but also with particular social groups. Within a given English-speaking country, there is a form of the language ...
Endodermal sinus tumor (EST) is a member of the germ cell tumor group of cancers. [1] It is the most common testicular tumor in children under three, [2] and is also known as infantile embryonal carcinoma. This age group has a very good prognosis. In contrast to the pure form typical of infants, adult endodermal sinus tumors are often found in ...
In the ovary, embryonal carcinoma is quite rare, amounting to approximately three percent of ovarian germ cell tumours. The median age at diagnosis is 15 years. Symptoms and signs are varied, and may include sexual precocity and abnormal (increased, reduced or absent) uterine bleeding. [1]
Cryptorchidism, also known as undescended testis, is the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum. The word is from Ancient Greek κρυπτός (kryptos) 'hidden' and ὄρχις (orchis) 'testicle'. It is the most common birth defect of the male genital tract. [ 1 ] About 3% of full-term and 30% of premature infant boys are ...
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. [ 2 ][ 7 ] These contrast with benign tumors, which do not spread. [ 7 ] Possible signs and symptoms include a lump, abnormal bleeding, prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss, and a change in bowel movements. [ 1 ]
Pathology, urology. Germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS) represents the precursor lesion for many types of testicular germ cell tumors. [1] The term GCNIS was introduced with the 2016 edition of the WHO classification of urological tumours. [1] GCNIS more accurate describes the lesion as it arises between the basement membrane and Sertoli cells ...
