Abstract

Spontaneous regression of testicular germ cell tumours: a case report Objective: A significant number of primary testicular tumors are germ cell tumors. Testicular germ cell tumors are one of the most common human neoplasms to undergo spontaneous regression. Case: a 22 year-old male patient, who had left-side testicular pain and up to 10 kilograms weight loss in a month. In the screening, retroperitoneal mass in the region of 8-12 cm in diameter and 2 cm solid mass in posterosuperior of the left testis. The patient who underwent left radical orchiectomy, teratomatous components of the macroscopic and microscopic examination accompanied by residual scar nodules detected and "showing spontaneous regression of germ cell tumor" was diagnosed. Conclusion: Spontaneous regression of testicular germ cell tumors is a well-recognized phenomenon, significant scar tissue is present in macroscopy. Histomorphological characteristics of tumor regression properties of scar tissue awareness, it is important to distinguish from nonspecific scar.

Özet

Amaç: Primer testiküler tümörlerin önemli bir kısmını germ hücreli tümörler oluşturur. Testiküler germ hücreli tümörler, en çok spontan regresyon gösteren insan neoplazmları arasındadır.Olgu: 22 yaşında erkek hasta olup, testise vuran sol yan ağrısı ve son 1 ayda 10 kilograma varan kilo kaybı şikayeti ile hastanemize başvurdu. Yapılan tetkiklerinde retroperitoneal bölgede 8-12 cm çapında kitle ve sol testisin posterosüperiorunda 2 cm çaplı kitle tespit edildi. Sol radikal orşiektomi uygulanan hastanın makroskopik ve mikroskopik incelemesinde rezidü teratomatöz komponentin eşlik ettiği skar nodülü saptanmış ve "spontan regresyon gösteren germ hücreli tümör" tanısı almıştır.Sonuç: Testiküler germ hücreli tümörlerin spontan regresyonu iyi tanımlanmış bir fenomen olup, makroskopide belirgin skar dokusu mevcuttur. Tümör regresyonuna ait skar dokusunun karakteristik histomorfolojik özelliklerinin farkındalığı, nonspesifik skarlardan ayırımı için önemlidir.
