Abstract

Intratubular germ cell neoplasia is a precursor to testicular germ cell cancer. The condition is characterized by large germ cells with large nuclei with a hyperchromatic, coarse chromatin pattern, large prominent nucleoli and abundant pale cytoplasm. In prepubertal boys these cells are located centrally and peripherally mixed with normal cells in the seminiferous tubules. We evaluated the impact of adult intratubular germ cell neoplasia marking immunohistochemistry in screening for intratubular germ cell neoplasia in boys with cryptorchidism.
