The sarcomatous differentiation occurring in spermatocytic seminoma (SS) renders an aggressive behavior with metastatic potential to this relatively indolent neoplasm. Correct identification of this sarcomatous component is essential as further management differs. Herein, we report a case of young male with SS with rapid increase in size of the tumor. Histopathology revealed a rhabdomyosarcomatous component infiltrating the rete-testis and epididymis along with a well-circumscribed SS.
精母细胞性精原细胞瘤(SS)中出现的肉瘤样分化使这种相对惰性的肿瘤具有侵袭性行为和转移潜能。正确识别这种肉瘤样成分至关重要,因为后续治疗方案有所不同。在此,我们报告一例年轻男性的SS病例,其肿瘤大小迅速增加。组织病理学显示,一个横纹肌肉瘤样成分浸润睾丸网和附睾,同时还有一个边界清楚的SS。
