===General===
{{Main|Embryonal carcinoma}}
*Affects young adults.
These often look like a poorly differentiated carcinoma.

===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_GUP549>{{Ref GUP|549}}</ref>
#Nucleoli - '''key feature'''.
#Vesicular nuclei (clear, empty appearing nuclei) - '''key feature'''.
#Nuclei overlap.
#[[Necrosis]] - common.
#*Not commonly present in seminoma.
#Indistinct cell borders
#Mitoses - common.
#Variable architecture:
#*Tubulopapillary.
#*Glandular.

#*Embryoid bodies - ball of cells in surrounded by empty space on three sides.
 
Notes:
*Cytoplasmic staining variable (eosinophilic to basophilic).

==Teratoma==
==Teratoma==
===General===
{{Main|Teratoma}}
*Consists of all three [[germ layers]]:<ref>{{cite book |author=Moore, Keith L.; Persaud, T.V.N.|title=The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology |publisher=Saunders |location= |year=2002 |pages= 83 |edition=7th |isbn=978-0721694122 |oclc= |doi= |accessdate=}}</ref>
In males these tumours are always malignant.
*#Endoderm:
*#*Skin, CNS.
*#Mesoderm:
*#*Muscle, bone, connective tissue, blood.
*#Ectoderm:
*#*Internal organs.
 
===Classification===
*Divided into:
**Mature.
**Immature.
 
===Immature===
*Immature if neural tissue is present:<ref>RS. 2 May 2010.</ref>
**Vaguely resembles pseudostratified respiratory epithelium.
*Islands of small hyperchromatic cells - "blastema".
*+/-Cartilage.
*+/-Adipocytes.
*+/-Colonic type mucosa.
*+/-Stratified squamous epithelium (skin).

*G0 - mature teratoma; no immature neuroepithelium.
*G1 - less than one lower power field ([[LPF]]) of immature neuroepithelium; LPF defined field at 4X magnification.
*G2 - 1-3 LPFs.
*G3 - more than 3 LPFs.
 
Note:
*LPF not adequately defined - see [[LPFitis]]. Same BS as HPF.
