backgrounds: seminoma is frequently observed in human and canine testes especially in cryptorchids. canine and human seminomas are typically associated with leukocytic infiltration. objectives: we aimed to identify the type of lymphocytes that infiltrate to seminomas. methods: tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were evaluated by immunohistological techniques in 5 dogs with diffuse seminoma. routine...

Testicular tumors are both increasing in frequency and disproportionately occur in young men; furthermore, different forms of neoplasm require different treatments. These considerations make the accurate diagnosis of testicular tumors especially important. Many of the critical distinctions involve the differentiation of seminoma from one or more potential mimics because seminoma is not only the...

A case-control study on testicular cancer included use of cellular and cordless telephones. The results were based on answers from 542 (92%) cases with seminoma, 346 (89%) with non-seminoma, and 870 (89%) controls. Regarding seminoma the use of analog cellular phones gave odds ratio (OR) = 1.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.9-1.6, digital phones OR = 1.3, CI = 0.9-1.8, and cordless phones OR...

Although scleromyxedema has been associated with neoplasm in rare instances, the literature showed no evidence of association with seminoma. We report a 43-year-old man who presented with a scleromyxedema and relapsed seminoma. The skin lesions of scleromyxedema cleared completely on treatment of seminoma with chemotherapy.

Testicular seminoma is a relatively common testicular cancer; however, testicular seminoma with pseudocyst is an extremely rare. The 'burned-out' phenomenon in germ cell tumors refers to a germ cell tumor in extra-gonadal tissues with spontaneous regression of an intra-gonadal tumor. We present a case of the testicular seminoma with pseudocyst and coagulation necrosis like burned-out tumor with...

Spermatocytic Seminoma is an unusual germ cell tumour known to arise from testis only. It is associated with good prognosis. Testicular tumours as such are uncommon in Asia as compared to western countries. In the literature only five cases of bilateral synchronous Spermatocytic Seminoma have been reported. Fifty years male patient presented to us with bilateral scrotal swelling and evaluation ...

Activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (p-EGFR) is one of the triggers in the development of many malignant tumors, and the measurement of Argentophilic Nucleolus Organizer Regions (AgNOR) area is used as a marker of tumor proliferation. Alpha actin smooth muscle (αASM) of Original Research Article Guerra et al.; BJMMR, 13(9): 1-9, 2016; Article no.BJMMR.23933 2 peritubular cells (PT) a...

BACKGROUND Clusterin, a heterodimeric glycoprotein of approximately 80 kDa, exists extensively in human body fluids. The abnormal expression of clusterin is closely related to the occurrence, progression, and prognosis of tumors. Up to now, few studies have focused on clusterin in human testicular cancer. This study describes an extensive exploration of the presence and expression of clusterin ...

Primary mediastinal seminoma is a relatively rare tumor usually located in the anterior mediastinum. We report here an extremely rare case of a 66-year-old man with primary seminoma in the middle mediastinum. A physical examination showed lymphadenopathy in the right supraclavicular area. A chest CT confirmed the presence of a tumor occupying the retrotracheal space. A histological examination ...
