Overview

Case report reveals concurrent neuroectodermal tumor and nephroblastoma within a primary testicular mixed germ cell tumor, highlighting rare somatic-type malignancy transformations.

Key Points

  • To report a unique presentation of concurrent embryonic-type neuroectodermal tumor and nephroblastoma arising within a primary testicular mixed germ cell tumor.
  • Histopathologic and immunohistochemical evaluation of an orchiectomy specimen from a 36-year-old male with a 4.5 cm testicular mass (pT1).
  • Assessment of diagnostic markers including SOX11, synaptophysin, CD99, PAX8, and WT1, alongside clinical monitoring over 13 months.
  • Histology revealed a mixed germ cell tumor comprising teratoma (40%), neuroectodermal tumor (40%), seminoma (10%), nephroblastoma (5%), embryonal carcinoma (2.5%), and yolk sac tumor (2.5%).
  • Immunohistochemistry demonstrated diffuse SOX11 positivity in the neuroectodermal tumor and positive PAX8 and WT1 staining in the nephroblastoma component.
  • The patient developed retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis at 1 month post-orchiectomy, received chemotherapy, and remained free of metastatic disease at 13 months.
