Teratomas are nonseminomatous germ cell tumors composed of elements derived from more than one germinal layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm). Malignant transformation of teratoma in the testis is well known; however, benign somatic neoplasm arising in a testicular teratoma is a rare occurrence. We report a case of meningothelial variant of meningioma arising in a pure and mature teratoma of the testis in a 5-year-old boy. Immunohistochemistry was positive for epithelial membrane antigen and vimentin. To our knowledge, this is the first report of meningothelial meningioma in a prepubertal testicular teratoma.
畸胎瘤是由来自一个以上胚层(内胚层、中胚层和外胚层)的成分组成的非精原性生殖细胞肿瘤。睾丸畸胎瘤的恶性转化是众所周知的;然而,睾丸畸胎瘤中出现的良性体细胞肿瘤却很少见。我们报告一例5岁男孩睾丸纯成熟畸胎瘤中发生的脑膜上皮型脑膜瘤。免疫组化显示上皮膜抗原和波形蛋白呈阳性。据我们所知,这是青春期前睾丸畸胎瘤中脑膜上皮型脑膜瘤的首例报告。
