1 Pediatric Testicular Tumors Mark A. Williams, MD Joe Welser, MD February 12, 2014

2 Testicular Tumors 1% to 2% of all Pediatric Solid Tumors Annual Incidence of 1 in 100,000 Majority occur in children < 2 years of age Teratoma now thought to be most common type Benign Tumors Account for 38% of cases Metastasis (Occurs in < 15% of tumors) 28% to Lymph Nodes 40% Hematogenous 20% Both

3 Classification Germ Cell Benign Teratoma Epidermoid Cyst Malignant Yolk Sac Gonadal Stromal Para-Testicular Leydig Cell Juvenile Granulosa Cell Lipoma Leiomyoma Sertoli Cell Rhabdomyosarcoma

4

5 Tumor Proportion By Type Yolk Sac Teratoma Epidermoid Cyst Leydig Cell Sertoli Cell Granulosa Cell Gonadoblastoma Other

6 Tumor Proportion By Age

7 Link to Cryptorchidism Incidence of testicular cancer in general population is approximately 5.4 per 100,000 Wood and Elder (2009): Relative Risk of Malignant Transformation 2.75 to 8 overall (< 0.5%) 2 to 3 in boys undergoing prepubertal orchiopexy Boys undergoing postpubertal orchiopexy are 2 to 6 times more likely to develop testicular cancer 74% of malignancies in persistent cryptorchid testes, are seminoma 63% of malignancies in post-orchiopexy patients, are nonseminoma No increased risk for tumors in the contralateral normally descended testis

8 Link to Cryptorchidism (ctd) Cortes, et al (2004): Incidence of Pediatric Testicular Tumors in Patients with Cryptorchidism 3.8% of children with abdominal undescended testes, abnormal external genitalia, or abnormal karyotype In patients without these characteristics, no cases of testicular neoplasia Found most often in bilateral cryptorchidism Petterson, et al (2007): Relative risk increases with age at orchiopexy Relative risk increases the more cephalad the undescended testis Other studies show presence of cancer in contralateral testis in 20% of cases

9 Chromosomal Abnormalities Benign Teratoma: No abnormality Yolk-Sac Tumors: del(1p36) in 80% - 100% of cases Intratubular Germ Cell Neoplasia: i(12p) Post-Pubertal Germ-Cell Tumors Loss of chromosomes 11, 13, or 18 Gain of chromosomes 7, 8, or X Patients with Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) have increased incidence Hypovirilization and gonadal dysgenesis are at higher risk Presence of Y chromosome in gonadal dysgenesis increases risk to 10% by age of 20 Intratubular germ cell neoplasia has been noted in 6% of children with DSD

10 Diagnosis Most common Presentation: Painless testicular mass 10% with history of hernia or hydrocele 15% - 50% have hydrocele on physical exam May also present with acute abdominal pain Must rule out epididymitis, hydrocele, hernia, and torsion (neonate) Testicular Ultrasound (with doppler): Cannot reliably distinguish benign and malignant tumors Anechoic cystic lesions suggest benign lesion Sharp borders and low flow suggest benign Useful to evaluate whether there is enough useful testicle to salvage

11 Tumor Markers a-fetoprotein elevated in > 90% of yolk-sac tumors All a-fetoprotein producing tumors have yolk-sac elements T 1/2 of 5 days Elevated for 6-9 months postpartum Also elevated in hepatoblastoma b-hcg not useful in prepubertal patients Embryonal carcinoma and choriocarcinoma are rare Produced by some mixed teratomas

12

13

14 Yolk Sac Tumor AKA endodermal sinus tumor, embryonal adenocarcinoma, infantile adenocarcinoma of the testis, orchidoblastoma, or Telium tumor Most common malignant tumor in infants and young boys 3% of cases have a positive history of trauma Staging a-fetoprotein CT of chest and abdomen

15 Yolk Sac Tumor - Pathology Gross Pathology Microscopic Appearance

16 Yolk Sac Tumor Pathology (ctd) Schiller-Duvall Bodies Hyaline-like Globules

17 Children s Oncology Group Staging System for Yolk Sac Tumors I II III IV Limited to testis Completely resected by high inguinal orchiectomy Tumor markers negative Unknown tumor markers at diagnosis -> Need negative ipsilateral retroperitoneal lymph node biopsy if > 2cm on CT Microscopic residual disease Tumor markers remain elevated Tumor rupture or scrotal biopsy prior to complete orchiectomy Retroperitoneal lymph node involvement (> 4 cm on CT) RPLN < 4 cm, but > 2 cm need biopsy Distant Metastasis

18 Yolk Sac Tumor - Treatment More than 90% present with Stage I disease Initial treatment: Radical inguinal orchiectomy (curative in most patients) Confirmed Stage I: Surveillance (36 months) Physical Exam + AFP CXR + CT/MRI of retroperitoneum Q1Month x 3, Q3Month x 1, Q6Month x 5 Stage II and Above: Platinum-Based Chemotherapy (BEP) Side effects: Ototoxicity, Nephrotoxicity

19 Yolk Sac Tumor Treatment (ctd) Routine RPLND not indicated Evidence of Residual or Recurrent disease Normal or unknown AFP at diagnosis Persistent retroperitoneal mass after chemotherapy Persistent elevation of AFP with negative imaging after chemotherapy Survival (6-year EFS) Stage II: ~100% Stage III: ~100% for age < 15 vs 83.3% Stage IV: 94.4% for age < 15 vs 84% Histology in patients < 15 was pure yolk-sac tumor (83%) vs mixed germ-cell tumor in patients > 15

20 Teratoma Most common pediatric testis tumor Comprised of elements of more than one germ cell layer: endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm Two types, both almost always benign Mature Teratoma Immature Teratoma: Immature tissue usually neuroepithelium Occasionally malignant Usually has yolk-sac tumor component

21 Teratoma Gross Pathology Mature Teratoma Immature Teratoma

22 Teratoma Microscopic Appearance Mature Teratoma Immature Teratoma

23 Teratoma (ctd) Diagnosis Ultrasound of testis reveals a heterogeneous lesion with internal echoes (calcification) AFP not elevated for the patient s age Treatment Testis-sparing procedures (enucleation) Should be done through inguinal incision Teratomas generally shell out easily due to pseudocapsule around the lesion

24 Epidermoid Cyst Monodermal Teratoma Differentiated squamous-lined cysts Filled with keratinous debris AFP levels normal Suggested by characteristic appearance on ultrasound: Concentric rings of alternating hypo and hyperechoic layers ( onion-skin appearance) Benign: May be managed by eneucleation

25

26 Epidermoid Cyst - Pathology Gross Pathology Microscopic Appearance

27 Leydig Cell Tumor Most common stromal tumors of testis in children Peak incidence at 4 to 5 years old Arise from a common mesenchymal stem cell that can differentiate into Leydig cells, Sertoli Cells, or granulosa cells Secrete testosterone: Cause 10% of precocious puberty in boys < 9 years old Classic triad Testis mass Precocious puberty Elevated serum testosterone and urinary 17-ketosteroids

28 Leydig Cell Tumor (ctd) Differential Diagnosis Pituitary Lesions Leydig Cell Hyperplasia Large Cell Sertoli Cell Tumors Hyperplastic Testicular Nodules in Boys with CAH Treatment Resection (testis-sparing) is curative Hormonal effects not reversible

31 Sertoli Cell Tumors Presents at earlier age than Leydig Cell Tumors 10% Hormonally Active: Gynecomastia most common effect 1/3 Associated with Genetic Syndromes Peutz-Jehgers syndrome Carney Complex Treatment Observation in Infants (Metastasis Rare) Metastasis Can Occur in Older Boys (10% overall rate) Orchiectomy (Eneucleation in pre-pubertal boys) Must Exclude Retroperitoneal Spread

32 Sertoli Cell Tumor - Pathology Gross Pathology Microscopic Appearance

33 Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumor Most common testicular tumor of neonates Presents most often in the first 6 months of life (often detected at birth) May occur in children with ambiguous genitalia, intersex disorders, and sex-chromosome mosaicism Not associated with precocity Benign without recurrence Eneucleation (testis-sparing) is curative

34 Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumor Gross Pathology Microscopic Appearance

35 Gonadoblastoma Found in association with disorders of sex differentiation Occur in abnormal gonads 22% streak, 18% dysgenetic, 60% indeterminate Originate in Surviving OCT-3/4 Positive Germ Cells in Areas of Undifferentiated Gonadal Tissue Combination of Germ-Cell Tumor and Gonadal Stromal Tumor Associated with the presence of Y chromosome 80% occur in phenotypic females with 46 XY Mixed gonadal dysgenesis 25% risk of tumor formation Incidence increases with age

36 Gonadoblastoma (ctd) Occur bilaterally in 10% 33% of cases Benign in childhood As germ-cell elements outgrow stroma 10% - 60% will progress to dysgerminoma (seminoma) after puberty Treatment: Prepubertal gonadectomies in atrisk patients All streak gonads should be removed All undescended testes should be removed

37 Gonadoblastoma - Pathology Gross Pathology Microscopic Appearance

38 Intratubular Germ Cell Neoplasia Carcinoma In Situ Found in 80% of testes with malignant germcell tumors (8% contralateral) Rarely in prepubertal germ-cell tumors Found in 2% - 8% of testes with cryptorchidism 90% of adults will develop a clinical germ-cell tumor within 7 years Treatment: Orchiectomy or Radiation
