The testis, plural testes, are important for survival of the species. Tumours occasionally arise in 'em. They generally are not biopsied.

Orchiectomy specimen showing testis replaced by tumour (proven to be seminoma). (WC/Ed Uthman)
If the testis is biopsied, it is usually for fertility. The cut-up of orchiectomy specimens is dealt with in orchiectomy grossing.
Normal testis
Gross
Anatomy - deep to superficial:
- Tunica albuginea - fibrous layer.
- Tunica vaginalis - thin mesothelial layer.
- This layer is important in the staging of testicular tumours.
Microscopic
Seminiferous tubules
- Sertoli cells (AKA sustentacular cell AKA nurse cell).
- Large cells with oval nucleus.
- Primary spermatocyte.
- Small cells with dark nucleus on basement membrane.
- Secondary spermatocyte.
- Rarely seen on light microscopy.
- Spermatids.
- Round small.
- Usually close to the centre of the lumen.
- Spermatozoa.
- You don't see the tail on light microscopy.
Images
Interstitial
- Leydig cell (AKA interstitial cell).
- Large eosinophilic cell.
- Blood vessels.
Image
Associated structures
- Epididymis - stores the sperm.
- Pseudostratified epithelium with cilia.

Rete testis
- Receives stuff from the tubules.
- Occasionally afflicted by adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis.
- Very rarely give rise to an adenocarcinoma of the rete testis.
- May be involved by seminoma.
Microscopic:
- Delicate anastomosing channels lined by cuboid epithelium.

Diagnoses (overview)
- Benign.

- Intratubular germ cell neoplasia.
- Seminoma.
- Spermatocytic seminoma.
- Yolk sac tumour (endodermal sinus tumour).
- Embryonal carcinoma.

- Mixed GCT - 60% of GCTs are mixed.
- Common combinations:
- teratoma + embryonal carcinoma + endodermal sinus tumour (yolk sac tumour) (TEE).

IHC for GCTs
ABCDs of GCTs:
- AFP - yolk sac tumour.
