The value of automated DNA cytometry for differentiation of testis cancer was evaluated in 54 seminomas, 13 HCG-positive seminomas, and 48 embryonal carcinomas. Slices of paraffin embedded tissue were enzymatically digested and stained with Feulgen SITS after fixation on glass slides. Automated DNA cytometry was performed with a Modular Image Analysis Computer (MIAC). DNA histogram phenotpye and computed DNA indices were correlated with the different tumor types. The ratio of hypertriploid to hypotriploid increased from HCG-positive seminoma over embryonal carcinoma to seminoma. The following mathematical DNA indices were found to correlate with tumor type: mean ploidy, 2c deviation index, 5c exceeding rate, variation coefficient of the GO/1 fraction and DNA nucleus diameter correlation.

D018236 Carcinoma, Embryonal A highly malignant, primitive form of carcinoma, probably of germinal cell or teratomatous derivation, usually arising in a gonad and rarely in other sites. It is rare in the female ovary, but in the male it accounts for 20% of all testicular tumors. (From Dorland, 27th ed & Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1595) Carcinomas, Embryonal,Embryonal Carcinoma,Embryonal Carcinomas
D018239 Seminoma A radiosensitive, malignant neoplasm of the testis, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. There are three variants: classical (typical), the most common type; anaplastic; and spermatocytic. The classical seminoma is composed of fairly well differentiated sheets or cords of uniform polygonal or round cells (seminoma cells), each cell having abundant clear cytoplasm, distinct cell membranes, a centrally placed round nucleus, and one or more nucleoli. In the female, a grossly and histologically identical neoplasm, known as dysgerminoma, occurs. (Dorland, 27th ed) Seminomas
