In 2016, the World Health Organization classification system of testicular tumors included the new entity prepubertal-type teratoma based on its morphological and molecular profile, and the realization that these tumors may occur in postpubertal men. For treatment and prognostic purposes, it is important to distinguish prepubertal-type teratoma from the usual postpubertal-type teratoma, because the former is benign unlike the latter. The distinction may be challenging. In this study, we investigated clinical, morphological, and molecular criteria for distinguishing prepubertal-type teratoma from postpubertal-type teratoma in a prospective series of pure testicular teratomas. All cases of pure teratoma in postpubertal men assessed at Barts Health NHS Trust or in consultation since the introduction of routine investigation of chromosome 12p status in 2010 were reviewed. Morphological features suggestive of prepubertal-type teratoma were observed in 14 out of 35 cases. All underwent molecular testing and none displayed 12p amplification. Mean tumor size was 16 mm (range 7–28 mm). None had associated germ cell neoplasia in situ or significant atrophy. Four incorporated a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor, 1–2 mm in size. Of the ten patients with follow-up information, none have recurred or metastasized. Twenty-one of the 35 cases were diagnosed as postpubertal-type teratoma, mean tumor size 40 mm (range 6–90 mm). One case underwent molecular testing: a tumor of pure skeletal muscle differentiation and possessed 12p amplification. Three cases presented with clinical metastases. Eight cases contained immature areas, ten cases had associated germ cell neoplasia in situ, and 17 cases had severe atrophy of the parenchyma. One case with neither germ cell neoplasia in situ nor atrophy showed necrosis. We conclude that both morphological and molecular features are of help in differentiating prepubertal-type teratoma from postpubertal-type teratoma. In nearly all postpubertal-type teratomas, molecular testing was unnecessary, and merely confirmed the morphological impression in the prepubertal-type teratomas. Our study confirmed the high incidence of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors in the prepubertal-type.

青春期后男性睾丸青春期前型畸胎瘤的前瞻性分子和形态学评估。

2016年,世界卫生组织的睾丸肿瘤分类系统根据其形态学和分子特征将新实体青春期前型畸胎瘤纳入其中,并认识到这些肿瘤可能发生在青春期后的男性身上。出于治疗和预后目的,区分青春期前型畸胎瘤和常见的青春期后型畸胎瘤很重要,因为前者是良性的,而后者则不同。这种区别可能具有挑战性。在这项研究中,我们研究了在一系列前瞻性纯睾丸畸胎瘤中区分青春期前型畸胎瘤和青春期后型畸胎瘤的临床、形态学和分子标准。自 2010 年对染色体 12p 状态进行常规调查以来,在 Barts Health NHS Trust 评估或咨询的所有青春期后男性纯畸胎瘤病例均进行了审查。35 例中有 14 例观察到提示青春期前型畸胎瘤的形态学特征。所有都进行了分子测试,没有一个显示出 12p 扩增。平均肿瘤大小为 16 毫米(范围 7-28 毫米)。没有一个与原位生殖细胞瘤或显着萎缩相关。四个包含分化良好的神经内分泌肿瘤,大小为 1-2 毫米。有随访信息的10例患者中,无一例复发或转移。35 例中有 21 例被诊断为青春期后型畸胎瘤,平均肿瘤大小 40 mm(范围 6-90 mm)。一个案例进行了分子检测:一种纯骨骼肌分化的肿瘤,具有 12p 扩增。三例出现临床转移。8 例包含未成熟区域,10 例伴有原位生殖细胞瘤,17 例伴有严重的实质萎缩。1例既没有原位生殖细胞瘤形成也没有萎缩的病例显示坏死。我们得出结论,形态学和分子特征都有助于区分青春期前型畸胎瘤和青春期后型畸胎瘤。在几乎所有的青春期后型畸胎瘤中,分子检测都是不必要的,只是确认了青春期前型畸胎瘤的形态学印象。我们的研究证实了青春期前型分化良好的神经内分泌肿瘤的高发病率。8 例包含未成熟区域,10 例伴有原位生殖细胞瘤,17 例伴有严重的实质萎缩。1例既没有原位生殖细胞瘤形成也没有萎缩的病例显示坏死。我们得出结论,形态学和分子特征都有助于区分青春期前型畸胎瘤和青春期后型畸胎瘤。在几乎所有的青春期后型畸胎瘤中,分子检测都是不必要的,只是确认了青春期前型畸胎瘤的形态学印象。我们的研究证实了青春期前型分化良好的神经内分泌肿瘤的高发病率。8 例包含未成熟区域,10 例伴有原位生殖细胞瘤,17 例伴有严重的实质萎缩。1例既没有原位生殖细胞瘤形成也没有萎缩的病例显示坏死。我们得出结论,形态学和分子特征都有助于区分青春期前型畸胎瘤和青春期后型畸胎瘤。在几乎所有的青春期后型畸胎瘤中,分子检测都是不必要的,只是确认了青春期前型畸胎瘤的形态学印象。我们的研究证实了青春期前型分化良好的神经内分泌肿瘤的高发病率。我们得出结论,形态学和分子特征都有助于区分青春期前型畸胎瘤和青春期后型畸胎瘤。在几乎所有的青春期后型畸胎瘤中,分子检测都是不必要的,只是确认了青春期前型畸胎瘤的形态学印象。我们的研究证实了青春期前型分化良好的神经内分泌肿瘤的高发病率。我们得出结论,形态学和分子特征都有助于区分青春期前型畸胎瘤和青春期后型畸胎瘤。在几乎所有的青春期后型畸胎瘤中,分子检测都是不必要的,只是确认了青春期前型畸胎瘤的形态学印象。我们的研究证实了青春期前型分化良好的神经内分泌肿瘤的高发病率。
