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

It was previously known previously known as intratubular germ cell neoplasia (abbreviated ITGCN) and testicular intraepithelial neoplasia.[1][2]

General

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

The following testicular GCTs do not arise from GCNIS:

Classification:[5]

  • Undifferentiated GCNIS.
  • Differentiated GCNIS.[6]
    • Intratubular seminoma.
    • Intratubular non-seminoma.

Treatment:

  • Radiotherapy.[1]

Microscopic

Features:[7][8]

  • "Large" round or polygonal nuclei.
    • Size in relation to normal often not defined.
      • Rakheja et al. say >= 5x a lymphocyte for intratubular embryonal carcinoma.[5]
    • 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.[citation needed]
