Abstract
Spermatocytic tumor, formerly known as spermatocytic seminoma, is an uncommon testicular neoplasm which is a distinct clinicopathologic entity from classic seminoma. These tumors are not associated with germ cell neoplasia in situ, other germ cell tumors, or isochromosome 12p. Although typically, these tumors have an excellent prognosis occasional cases are associated with sarcoma and have a very poor prognosis. We present a case of spermatocytic tumor with sarcoma showing a chondrosarcomatous component, discuss the pathologic findings and differential diagnosis and provide follow-up information.Entities:
