Presentation
A review of the literature on germ cell testicular tumor in men sixty years old and over is also presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, it is present as a component of almost ninety percent of mixed nonseminomatous germ cell tumours. The average age at diagnosis is 31 years, and typically presents as a testicular lump which may be painful. [en.wikipedia.org]

Epigastric Pain
Here we describe a 72-year-old man who remained undiagnosed for a prolonged period of time because of intractable epigastric pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abnormal Behavior
This 29-year-old male was admitted because of abnormal behavior, disturbed consciousness, and increased intracranial pressure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Secondary Amenorrhea
The case of a 12-year-old female with a history of secondary amenorrhea for 6 months is reported; her symptoms included decreased visual acuity, dizziness and postprandial vomiting over a 1-month period. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Scrotal Mass
Abstract A 72-year-old Japanese man presented with a painless swollen left scrotal mass with elevated levels of serum alpha-fetoprotein and prostate specific antigen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
The patient elected observation after further workup showed no evidence of metastasis.A repeat ultrasound 3 months later showed interval growth and the patient underwent right radical orchiectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Karyotype Abnormal
As evidences suggesting the role of karyotypic abnormalities (e.g., aneuploidy and near-tetraploidy) and stem cell in tumor development are increasing, it becomes pertinent to study karyotypically abnormal embryonal carcinoma cells. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
We report a rare case of advanced testicular cancer that describes the natural progression of testicular cancer without medical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Therefore, the long-term vital prognosis can be expected in this patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Therefore, determining the epigenetic and functional genomic landscape in GCC cell lines could provide insight into the pathophysiology and etiology of GCC and provide guidance for targeted functional experiments. [diagenode.com]
ETIOLOGY •Embryonal carcinoma is a NON-SEMINOMATOUS germ cell tumour characterized by primitive epithelial cells with marked pleomorphism and various histologic patterns. It may present in pure form but often is part of a mixed germ cell tumour. [slideshare.net]
(Etiology) The cause of Embryonal Carcinoma of the Testis is unknown. [dovemed.com]
About 3-10% of pure germ cell tumors are embryonal carcinomas, and embryonal carcinomas are present in more than 80% of mixed germ cell tumors. [1, 2] Etiology Genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of germ cell tumors, [3, 4 [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiological studies evidenced an increased incidence of testicular germ cell cancer after elevated pre-natal estrogen exposure but the expression of estrogen receptors in these testicular neoplasms has not been well elucidated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] cells recapitulating early stages of embryonic development Essential features Age at presentation: 30's Pure in 2% of the cases; most commonly part of mixed germ cell tumor More than 60% have metastases at presentation Multiple morphologic patterns Epidemiology [pathologyoutlines.com]
Epidemiology Embryonal carcinoma is one of the most common germ cell tumors. The peak incidence occurs in persons aged 20-30 years. It is extremely rare in infants. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Introduction Testicular tumors can be of germ cell or non-germ cell origin germ cell origin are the majority (95%) and are more commonly malignant non-germ cell origin usually benign Epidemiology incidence most common cancer in men between 15-35 years [step1.medbullets.com]
Pathophysiology
Author information 1 Department of Pathophysiology, Norman Bethune Medical School, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, PR China. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Therefore, determining the epigenetic and functional genomic landscape in GCC cell lines could provide insight into the pathophysiology and etiology of GCC and provide guidance for targeted functional experiments. [diagenode.com]
Prevention
Maintaining Foxm1 expression prevents the downregulation of pluripotency-related transcription factors such as Oct4 and Nanog during P19 cell differentiation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hopefully it prevents an infection. I have a son in jr. kindergarten, so infections are always a possibility in this house. Vicfirth: I have been following your threads and I hope that you won t need to go down this road. [tc-cancer.com]
