Seminoma with intertubular growth pattern: A tumor with ambiguous clinical and gross morphology

Abstract

Seminoma constitutes around 30–40% of all testicular tumors. Intertubular seminoma signifies a distinct subtype and a rare growth pattern of seminoma. This type of tumor is usually discovered incidentally during microscopic examination since the lesion is inapparent clinically and macroscopically. It is characterized by distribution of seminoma cells between the seminiferous tubules. Hence, if careful microscopic examination is not performed, the intertubular seminoma can be missed. We report a case of Seminoma with exclusive intertubular growth pattern.
