摘要

Embryonic-type neuroectodermal elements are often intimately mixed with primitive endodermal-type glands, like those of yolk sac tumors, in germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS)-derived germ cell tumors of the testis. Because the primitive glands mimic tubules or rosettes of embryonic-type neuroectodermal elements, these embryonic-type neuroectodermal/glandular complexes may be misinterpreted as pure lesions of embryonic-type neuroectodermal elements, which, if of sufficient size, may lead to a diagnosis of embryonic-type neuroectodermal tumor, despite that the criteria of the World Health Organization for a “somatic-type malignancy” are not met. A diagnosis of embryonic-type neuroectodermal tumor in the testis may lead to retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy even in clinical stage I patients, and in postchemotherapy resections indicates a poor prognosis. The distinction of the neuroectodermal and glandular elements is not always straightforward based on morphology alone. We, therefore, studied 34 testis-derived germ cell tumors with embryonic-type neuroectodermal/glandular complexes and 2 purely glandular yolk sac tumors to characterize the immunophenotypes and determine an efficient immunohistochemical panel to aid in this differential. We found that GFAP, synaptophysin, and paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) expression was specific to embryonic-type neuroectodermal elements, although PHOX2B had poor sensitivity. In contrast, positive reactions with antibodies directed against AFP, villin, and CDX2 were specific for the glandular elements, although CDX2 had poor sensitivity. Other markers, including AE1/AE3 cytokeratin, SALL4, glypican 3, SOX2, SOX11, CD56, INSM1, and neurofilament, proved less helpful because of their nonspecificity and/or poor sensitivity. We conclude that the optimal immunohistochemical panel for distinguishing the components of embryonic-type neuroectodermal/glandular complexes includes stains for synaptophysin, GFAP, villin, and AFP.
