A number of important advances have been made in testicular tumor pathology since
the publication of the 2nd series fascicle, Tumors of the Male Genital System,
necessitating a separate atlas devoted to the testis, its adnexa, spermatic cord,
and scrotum to incorporate this new information. The publication of this work
is timely, as the incidence of testicular cancer in many countries continues to
increase. Because of the need for effective, yet different, therapeutic approaches
for many entities, accurate pathologic interpretation of these tumors, most of
which occur in young patients, is of paramount importance.This atlas emphasizes
the differential diagnosis of testicular tumors. It begins with a consideration
of general aspects, including epidemiology, followed by a discussion of the histogenesis
of germ cell tumors, including the lesion known as “intratubular germ cell
neoplasia, unclassified type.” Typical seminoma is considered and illustrated
in detail, as well as variants such as tubular seminoma, seminoma with cribriform
patterns, spermatocytic seminoma, and spermato-cytic seminoma with sarcoma. Also
thoroughly covered are nonseminomatous germ cell tumors and sex cord-stromal tumors.
An entire chapter is devoted to the many non-neoplastic lesions of this region
that are, in some instances, easily misinterpreted as neoplastic. The final chapter
is devoted to the scrotum. Newer diagnostic approaches, e.g., immunohistochemical
and molecular analyses, are discussed as supplemental methods; however7, the emphasis
of this work remains routine light-microscopic interpretation. Where appropriate,
the diagnostic utility of ultrastructure is considered. In addition the clinical
significance of each lesion is discussed. This 385-page atlas, written by three
pathologists with extensive experience evaluating testicular pathology includes
535 color and 42 halftone illustrations. Every effort has been made to include
the most current references as well as important contributions from the older
literature.
