Primary Germ Cell Tumour of Testis with Sarcomatous Changes: A Unique Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
This paper reports a unique case of undifferentiated germ cell tumour with sarcomatous changes. The lack of differentiation into any specific germ cell type along with microscopic spindle and plump cells with immunohistochemistry positive for desmin and high ki67index but negative for PLAP along with normal markers of testicular malignancy apart from increased LDH marks the presence of undifferentiated germ cell tumour with sarcomatous changes and a high proliferative index. Although the patient had the localised disease at the time of presentation, the prognosis of the disease expected to be guarded and needs atailored and individualised approach for a better management and control of disease
