We analysed 973 patients with stage I testicular tumours presenting between 1983 and 1994. The median ages at presentation for non-seminomatous germ cell tumour (teratoma) were 27 years, seminoma 36 years and combined tumour 33 years. These differences were statistically significant (Mann-Whitney P < 0.05), suggesting that combined tumours may have a separate natural history. We, therefore, analysed all stage I patients managed with surveillance (530 in total) post orchidectomy. The actuarial 5 year relapse-free survival and anatomical patterns of relapse were identical for non-seminomatous germ cell tumour (NSGCT) and combined tumour and both were statistically distinct from seminoma (P = 0.01, log-rank test, chi-square test P = 0.001). The association of seminoma within a histologically confirmed NSGCT has no influence on the clinical outcome.

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).
