'''Germ cell neoplasia in situ''', abbreviated '''GCNIS''', is a premalignant lesion of the [[testis]].

*Considered the precursor lesion for germ cell tumours.
*Not all germ cell tumours (GCTs) arise from ''intratubular germ cell neoplasia''.

**Polygonal nuclei = squared-off nuclear membrane.
*Prominent nucleoli - '''key feature'''.
*Clear cytoplasm - '''important'''.
*+/-Cells fill the tubule.
 
Note:
*Sertoli cells may have a nucleolus... but they have eosinophilic ctyoplasm.{{fact}}
 
DDx:
*Sertoli cell-only syndrome - Sertoli cells also have nucleoli, wind swept appearance.<ref>URL: [http://www.webpathology.com/image.asp?n=3&Case=28 http://www.webpathology.com/image.asp?n=3&Case=28]. Accessed on: 25 March 2013.</ref>
