Materials and methods: We conducted a pooled analysis of 43 Down’s syndrome patients diagnosed with TGCT published in literature between January 1985 and December 2016. Results: The median age was 30 years (range 2 – 50). A majority of tumors (67%) were seminomas. 26 (51%) patients were diagnosed as stage I, 14 (33%) and 7 (16%) as stage II and III, respectively. In the seminoma group, 18 patients (62%) were diagnosed with stage I, 9 (31%) with stage II and 2 (7%) with stage III. -

ABSTRACT Brenner tumors are rare ovarian tumors accounting for 2-3% of all ovarian neoplasms and about 2% of these tumors are borderline (proliferating) or malignant. These tumors are commonly seen in 4th-8th decades of life with a peak in late 40s and early 50s. Benign Brenner tumors are usually small, <2cm in diameter and often detected incidentally during surgery or on pathological examination. Authors report a case of a large, calcified benign Brenner tumor in a 55-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with complaint of abdominal pain and mass in abdomen. Imaging revealed large complex solid cystic pelvic mass -peritoneal fibrosarcoma. She underwent laparotomy which revealed huge Brenner tumor weighing 9kg arising from left uterine cornual end extending up to epigastric region. -

It mostly occurs in second and third decades of life. This is a case report of a rare presentation of a huge ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor presenting like an advanced ovarian cancer in a 62 year old seven years postmenopausal para eight woman. At surgery was a left well encapsulated multilobulated ovarian tumour measuring 28 x28x14cm, weighing 6.2kg and histologically containing clusters of Leydig cells and solid cords of Sertoli cells of intermediate differentiation. The patient presented with a year history of progressive abdominal swelling and irregular vaginal bleeding. She had total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

Please visit the accessible version of this content at https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/uscs/about/data-briefs/no21-male-urologic-cancers.htm December 2020| No. 21 U.S. Cancer Statistics: Male Urologic Cancers During 2013–2017, one of three cancers diagnosed in men was a urologic cancer. Of 302,304 urologic cancers diagnosed each year, 67% were found in the prostate, 19% in the urinary bladder, 13% in the kidney or renal pelvis, and 3% in the testis. Incidence Male urologic cancer is any cancer that starts in men’s reproductive or urinary tract organs. The four most common sites where cancer is found are the prostate, urinary bladder, kidney or renal pelvis, and testis. Other sites include the penis, ureter, and urethra. Figure 1.

Fatal Haemorrhage and Neoplastic Thrombosis in a Captive African Lion
Gonzales‑Viera et al. Acta Vet Scand (2017) 59:69 DOI 10.1186/s13028-017-0337-5 Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica CASE REPORT Open Access Fatal haemorrhage and neoplastic thrombosis in a captive African lion (Panthera leo) with metastatic testicular sex cord–stromal tumour Omar Antonio Gonzales‑Viera1,2, Angélica María Sánchez‑Sarmiento1* , Natália Coelho Couto de Azevedo Fernandes3, Juliana Mariotti Guerra3, Rodrigo Albergaria Ressio3 and José Luiz Catão‑Dias1 Abstract Background: The study of neoplasia in wildlife species contributes to the understanding of cancer biology, manage‑ ment practices, and comparative pathology. Higher frequencies of neoplasms among captive non-domestic felids have been reported most commonly in aging individuals. However, testicular tumours have rarely been reported. This report describes a metastatic testicular sex cord–stromal tumour leading to fatal haemorrhage and thrombosis in a captive African lion (Panthera leo). Case presentation: During necropsy of a 16-year-old male African lion, the left testicle and spermatic cord were found to be intra-abdominal (cryptorchid), semi-hard and grossly enlarged with multiple pale-yellow masses. Encap‑ sulated haemorrhage was present in the retroperitoneum around the kidneys. Neoplastic thrombosis was found at the renal veins opening into the caudal vena cava. Metastases were observed in the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes. Histology revealed a poorly diferentiated pleomorphic neoplasm comprised of round to polygonal cells and scattered spindle cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. An immunohistochemistry panel of inhibin-α, Ki-67, human placental alkaline phosphatase, cytokeratin AE1/AE3, cKit, vimentin and S100 was conducted. Positive cytoplasmic immunolabeling was obtained for vimentin and S100. Conclusions: The gross, microscopic and immunohistochemical fndings of the neoplasm were compatible with a poorly diferentiated pleomorphic sex cord–stromal tumour. -

This saved him from dealing with side effects . Eventually, he knew he needed to get testicular cancer surgery . That 45-minute procedure to remove his testicle from his groin was all he needed to be cancer-free . Mike’s fears went away .

Penile Cancer Early Detection, Diagnosis, and Staging Detection and Diagnosis
cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Penile Cancer Early Detection, Diagnosis, and Staging Detection and Diagnosis Finding cancer early, when it's small and before it has spread, often allows for more treatment options. Some early cancers may have signs and symptoms that can be noticed, but that's not always the case. ● Can Penile Cancer Be Found Early? ● Signs and Symptoms of Penile Cancer ● Tests for Penile Cancer Stages of Penile Cancer After a cancer diagnosis, staging provides important information about the extent of cancer in the body and the likely response to treatment. ● Penile Cancer Stages Outlook (Prognosis) Doctors often use survival rates as a standard way of discussing a person's outlook (prognosis). These numbers can’t tell you how long you will live, but they might help you better understand your prognosis. Some people want to know the survival statistics for people in similar situations, while others might not find the numbers helpful, or might even not want to know them. ● Survival Rates for Penile Cancer 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Questions to Ask About Penile Cancer Here are some questions you can ask your cancer care team to help you better understand your cancer diagnosis and treatment options. ● Questions To Ask About Penile Cancer Can Penile Cancer Be Found Early? There are no widely recommended screening tests for penile cancer, but many penile cancers can be found early, when they're small and before they have spread to other parts of the body. Almost all penile cancers start in the skin, so they're often noticed early.
