A 59-year-old man presented with a painless testicular mass and underwent a radical orchiectomy. The resected specimen showed a 5-cm-sized, white-yellow and homogenous solid mass in the testicular parenchyma. Histologically, the central part of the tumor exhibited typical features of seminoma. The peripheral part of the tumor exhibited diffuse infiltration of small, monotonous lymphoid cells involving the tunica albuginea. The monotonous lymphoid cells were immunoreactive for CD20, CD79a, CD5, and CD23, and negative for CD3, CD10, and cyclin D1. Kappa light chain restriction was detected on flow cytometry using the resected specimen. Considering the circulating lymphoid cell count of >5.0×103/µL, we diagnosed the peripheral component of the tumor as an infiltration of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This extremely rare combination of seminoma and lymphoid neoplasm should be considered in the differential diagnosis of classic seminoma with extensive lymphoid reaction in tumors arising in elderly patients.
一名59岁男性因无痛性睾丸肿块就诊并接受了根治性睾丸切除术。切除的标本显示睾丸实质内有一个5厘米大小的白黄色均质实性肿块。组织学上,肿瘤中央部分呈现精原细胞瘤的典型特征。肿瘤外周部分表现为小的、单一的淋巴细胞弥漫浸润白膜。这些单一的淋巴细胞对CD20、CD79a、CD5和CD23呈免疫反应性,对CD3、CD10和细胞周期蛋白D1呈阴性。使用切除的标本进行流式细胞术检测发现κ轻链受限。考虑到循环淋巴细胞计数>5.0×10³/µL,我们将肿瘤的外周成分诊断为慢性淋巴细胞白血病浸润。在老年患者肿瘤中出现广泛淋巴样反应的经典精原细胞瘤的鉴别诊断中,应考虑这种精原细胞瘤与淋巴样肿瘤极为罕见的组合。
