“…22 It is quite possible that these data give a biased view of its ranking relative to teratoma 23,24 because of the greater tendency for malignant neoplasms to be contributed to such registries, 25 to be reported in the literature 22 and also to be over-represented in consultative-based studies. 26 It occurs at a median age of 16-20 months (Table 2), 4,21 with a range in one series of 3 months to 8 years. 21 In a recent review of 32 cases from Boston Children's Hospital (Cornejo KM, Kozakewich HPW, Young RH.…”

“…Gynecomastia may be noted in patients with Sertoli cell tumors of the testis [ 12,131, and precocious puberty is generally the presenting finding in children with interstitial cell tumors of the testis [ 14,151. Male patients with gonadoblastoma present with cryptorchidism, hypospadias, and, less frequently, gynecomastia [ 161.…”

Primary malignant tumors of the testis are uncommon in infants and children. Tumors of germ cell origin are identified most frequently. The clinical presentation is usually due to the presence of an enlarging scrotal mass. Determinations of the serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) levels are helpful for diagnosis and management. All suspected testicular tumors should be surgically evaluated through a high inguinal incision. Postoperative chemotherapy is recommended for some patients with yolk sac tumor and all patients with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Prolonged relapse-free survival is possible for most infants and children with malignant testicular tumors.

“…A study of testicular neoplasms in infants and children up to 12 years of age revealed that the average age of patients with germ-cell tumors was 27 months and that only 3 boys with such lesions were 5 years of age or more.l. 5 Embryonal carcinomas (undifferentiated teratomas) and partially differentiated teratomas were found almost exclusively in infants. The differentiated and the partially differentiated teratomas acted benignly clinically, and the embryonal carcinomas were not inevitably fatal.…”

“…Non-germ-cell tumors of testis are relatively more frequent in prepubertal children than they are in adults. 5 The present investigation was carried out to ascertain the frequency of the different types of testicular neoplasms, particularly those of germ-cell origin, that occur at puberty and during adolescence and whether they behave differently than do corresponding tumors in infancy and adult life.…”
