Primary classical seminoma of the testis with rhabdoid differentiation

BMJ Case Rep. 2024 Dec 24;17(12):e260440. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2024-260440.

Abstract

Rhabdoid differentiation is an indicator of poor prognosis that is often seen in renal cell carcinoma; however, it is also rarely seen in non-renal tumours. Therefore, pathologists should carefully review this finding and report. This report describes the first case of a seminoma of testicular origin that developed rhabdoid differentiation.

Keywords: Pathology; Urological cancer; Urological surgery.
