Is the lymphovascular invasion at the spermatic cord margin considered a compromised surgical margin?

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

Typically No. You require invasive cancer at the margin to call a positive margin...

In case 2, how do you explain the elevated AFP?

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

As I said earlier, embryonal carcinoma can have elevated AFP level. Usually mild elevation

[@msteel2986]

This was an absolutely fantastic presentation. Will improve my practice quite a lot. Thanks very much

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

Thank You very much for your feedback! Please check out other videos in the channel as well. There are many other practical practice oriented topics

[@wallendegen1]

Hello, again thank you for this wonderful presentation. When does one consider an epidermoid cyst as a distinct entity that is not part of a teratoma ?

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

wallendegen1 I would consider epidermoid cyst diagnosis when I don’t see any changes suggestive of GCNIS or perturbed tests in the background. Also I would be careful of making this diagnosis in post pubertal setting.

[@tinocasadeitherezo6063]

Wasn't the elevation of the AFP to occur in yolk sac tumor, at least preferentially?

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

Yes, that is correct. AFP elevation is typical of yolk sac component. Embryonal carcinoma also may also demonstrate slight elevation

[@akanksham1920]

Sir, what about teratoma immature neural component in prepubertal setting? Is it still considered prepubertal teratoma (which is benign?)

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

Akansha, good question. Typically, prepubertal teratoma which is considered benign has mature skin and appendage components of ectoderm, rarely cartilage and lacks GCNIS or impaired spermatogenesis. If there is truly an immature neuroepithelium than I would consider it as a potentially malignant

[@akanksham1920]

@@rajalbshahExperturologicpath thank you sir

[@tinocasadeitherezo6063]

Excuse me for another question: in case 3, what would be the diagnosis, since you shouldn't use the word "mature"?

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

Malignant germ cell tumor, comprising of teratoma elements ( post pubertal type)

[@marisa632]

Hello sir. Thank you for another wonderful lecture… full of practical points. May I ask if you grade testicular immature teratomas in your practice? Is it acceptable to use the same grading system as in the ovarian immature teratomas or should I give only the percentage of the immature component in the testicular setting?

[@rajalbshahExperturologicpath]

Testicular teratomas in post pubertal patients are malignant regardless whether they contain mature or immature elements. Grading is not recommended. Thank you!

[@marisa632]

Thank you Dr. Shah!
