Testicular scar, also scar of testis, is a phenomenon that may arise in the context of treatment for a germ cell tumour[1] or result from the spontaneous regression of a (germ cell) tumour.[2]
General
- Well-reported uncommon finding.
Microscopic
Features:
- Seminiferous tubules replaced by fibrosis.
- +/-Hemosiderin-laden macrophages.
DDx:
- Necrotic tumour.
- Germ cell tumour - typically seminoma.[citation needed]
Sign out
TESTICLE, LEFT, ORCHIECTOMY: - TESTICULAR SCAR REPLACING MOST OF THE SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES. - REMAIN SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES WITH ATROPHIC CHANGES. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
