Abstract

Cystic trophoblastic tumor (CTT) has been described in postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissections of patients with testicular germ cell tumors. Prognostically, this lesion is similar to teratoma and no further treatment is required after surgery in the absence of other components. CTT has not, however, been reported in the testis. We identified 14 CTTs in the treated (4) and untreated (9; no information for 1 patient) testes of patients 15 to 43 years old (median, 25) with mixed germ cell tumors. The CTT was a minor component (<1% to 10%) and associated with teratoma (14), embryonal carcinoma (7), yolk sac tumor (7), seminoma (1), and choriocarcinoma (1). At follow-up, CTT and teratoma were also found in 2 subsequent resections (spermatic cord and pelvis mass) in 2 patients. The CTTs were not grossly distinct but on microscopic examination were cystic to partly solid, with cysts often containing fibrinoid material and lined by mononucleated squamoid cells with eosinophilic to pale, frequently vacuolated cytoplasm and having pleomorphic nuclei with dense, often smudged chromatin. Mitotic activity was inconspicuous. Immunostains for hCG (6/6), inhibin (6/6), and p63 (2/6) were focally positive. The pathogenesis of CTT is not completely understood. As untreated patients without choriocarcinoma may have CTT in the testis, it is suggested that testicular CTT represents a form of regressed choriocarcinoma or a late morphologic phase in the transformation of choriocarcinoma to teratoma.

摘要

睾丸生殖细胞肿瘤患者化疗后在腹膜后淋巴结内可发生囊性滋养细胞肿瘤(CTT)。CTT与畸胎瘤相似,在不含有其他成份时术后不需要进一步治疗。目前未见发生在睾丸部位CTT的报道。作者报道14例混合性生殖细胞肿瘤治疗(4例)或未治疗(9例;1例物相关信息)后的睾丸CTTs。患者年龄范围15-43岁(中位年龄25岁)。CTT占很少的成分(<1%至10%),14例均含有畸胎瘤成分,7例含有胚胎性癌,7例含有卵黄囊瘤,1例含有精原细胞瘤,1例含有绒毛膜癌。随访过程中,有2名患者在随后切除的精索和盆腔肿块中也存在CTT和畸胎瘤。大体检查CTTs通常并不明显,但是在显微镜下可见囊实性结构,囊中通常含有纤维蛋白样物质,囊壁内衬单核样嗜酸至浅染的鳞状细胞,胞质通常空泡状,具有多形浓染的核,染色质粗糙,核分裂不明显。免疫标记hCG(6/6)、inhibin(6/6)和p63(2/6)局灶阳性。CTT的发病机制尚不完全清楚。不伴绒癌且未接受治疗的患者,其睾丸中可能存在CTT,推测睾丸CTT可能为绒毛膜癌的一种退化表现,或者是绒毛膜癌向畸胎瘤转化的一种后期形态学改变。
