Non-seminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis: morphology of retroperitoneal lymph node metastases after chemotherapy. 1984

A J Suurmeijer, and J W Oosterhuis, and D T Sleijfer, and H S Koops, and G J Fleuren

Gross and histological examination of residual retroperitoneal mature teratoma revealed different findings in patients treated with PVB remission-induction chemotherapy with maintenance chemotherapy followed by an RLND 4-6 months after PVB chemotherapy (group I) as compared to patients who received PVB chemotherapy only and underwent an RLND after 4-6 weeks (group II). RLND specimens in group I predominantly contained mature teratoma with organoid differentiation, whereas the specimens in group II often consisted of small mature teratoma areas with less-differentiated structures next to large areas of fresh tumor necrosis. Our findings suggest that, either due to maintenance chemotherapy or due to a prolonged time interval between PVB remission-induction chemotherapy and RLND, mature teratoma grows and differentiates further from tissue level to organoid level.

D001761 Bleomycin A complex of related glycopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces verticillus consisting of bleomycin A2 and B2. It inhibits DNA metabolism and is used as an antineoplastic, especially for solid tumors.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D013724 Teratoma A true neoplasm composed of a number of different types of tissue, none of which is native to the area in which it occurs. It is composed of tissues that are derived from three germinal layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. They are classified histologically as mature (benign) or immature (malignant).
