===General=== | |||
*Abnormal sexual development. | |||
*Often coexist with [[dysgerminoma]]. | |||
===Microscopic=== | |||

*Immature germ cells resembling Sertoli cells or granulosa cells. | |||
**Sertoli cells = moderate cytoplasm in a trabecular or tubular architecture. | |||
**Granulosa cells = form follicle-like structures. | |||
*Primitive germ cells resemble those of a [[dysgerminoma]]. | |||
**Polygonal cells with a central nucleus, squared-off nuclear membrane and clear cytoplasm. | |||
*+/-Calcification (very common). | |||
