Key result
Large tumor size and specific histology indicate malignant potential in testicular sex cord stromal tumors.
Case Report (n=1)
Selected immunohistochemical stains may assist in the diagnosis of rare testicular sex cord stromal tumors.
Supports IHC for rare testicular tumors; leaves open larger validation of malignancy criteria.
Germ cell carcinomas represent the most frequently reported type of testicular neoplasia. Tumors derived from sex cord stromal elements are considerably less common. Most sex cord stromal tumors are benign. Lasge tumor size and certain histologic parameters are associated with malignant potential in a minority of these tumors. Selected immunohistochemical stains may assist in the diagnosis. (The J Histotechnol 29:45, 2006)Submitted July 5, 2005; accepted November 23, 2005

Strobel et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Testicular Sex Cord Stromal Tumor (n=1). Testicular sex cord stromal tumors are rare neoplasms where large tumor size and specific histologic parameters indicate malignant potential, with immunohistochemical stains assisting in diagnosis.
