- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Germ cell tumors usually manifest as 90% unclassifiable intratubular germ cell neoplasia, with a peak in the fourth decade of life, and most often affect Caucasian individuals. CLINICAL CASE: A 26-year-old man with a testicular tumor treated with radical orchiectomy and chemotherapy. Histology showed the characteristics of a mixed germ cell tumor with mature teratoma components, polyembrioma with embryonal carcinoma component and endodermal sinus tumor. CONCLUSIONS: Polyembrioma is a distinctive component of germ cell neoplasms. Some authors consider this component the most immature form of teratoma and others think that it is a distinctive pattern within mixed germ cell tumors.
