Introduction:
Testicular tumors of non-germ cell origin are very rare constituting 5 to 10 percent of all testicular neoplasms. This includes primary as well as secondary tumors. These tumors because of their diverse histomorphology pose diagnostic difficulty to pathologists. Hence, our study covers the spectrum of these lesions with emphasis on unusual morphological features of these lesions, their morphological similarities and diagnostic clues that may help us in diagnosis with the help of immunohistochemical markers.
Methods
All testicular tumors that were diagnosed and treated at our institute from 2017 to 2021 were collected retrospectively from the department registry. All germ cell tumors and hematolymphoid tumors which form the major bulk of testicular tumors were excluded from the study.
Results:
Accordingly, twelve cases were triaged among which ten cases were primary testicular tumors and two were metastatic. The primary tumors include four cases of pure leydig cell tumors, two cases of sertoli cell tumor, NOS, one case of neuroendocrine tumor, two cases of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and one case of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Secondary tumors include two cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma metastasis.
Conclusion:
Non germ cell testicular tumors pose diagnostic difficulties because of their diverse histomorphological presentation and lack of awareness. Extensive sampling with a panel of immunohistochemical markers might be necessary to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. Our study gives an overall view of these rare lesions.
Keywords:
Testis, non germ cell tumors, metastasis.
