Testicular Germ Cell Tumor with a Rare Combination of Seminomatous and Nonseminomatous Components

Testicular neoplasms constitute 1% of all tumors in men. With new therapeutic regimens, the cure rate in testicular germ cell tumors is more than 90%. Accurate histologic typing of the neoplasm plays a pivotal role in planning treatment in each case. Most testicular germ cell tumors (GCT) are of mixed type. Various combinations can be present but the occurrence of seminomatous component in mixed germ cell tumor is unusual.
