* Hypo- to isointense on T2-weighted images and inhomogenous enhancement on contrast enhanced T1-weighted images.

* [[Orchiectomy|Radical inguinal orchiectomy]] is the first treatment for any stage of testicular seminoma. Usually done as diagnostic and therapeutic.
| style="padding: 5px 5px; background: #F5F5F5;" |
*[[Prognosis]] of [[seminoma]] is good for all stages with greater than 90% cure rate.
* The International Germ Cell Cancer Consensus Group divides [[seminoma]] into two prognosis groups: good and intermediate.
* Common complications of [[seminoma]] include recurrence, [[lymph node]] [[metastasis]], distant [[metastasis]], and secondary [[malignancies]].

*[[Lactate dehydrogenase]] ([[LDH]]), [[alpha-fetoprotein]] ([[AFP]]), [[beta-human chorionic gonadotropin]] ([[beta-hCG]]) levels. If any levels are elevated, they may assist in diagnosis and/ or follow-up of women diagnosed with malignant ovarian GCTs.

* The 5-year [[survival rate]] of the patient even with [[Disseminated disease|disseminated]][[dysgerminoma]] at the time of [[diagnosis]] is above 90%.

* [[Cough]]
* [[Shortness of breath]]
* [[Abdominal pain]]
* [[Lump]], Abdominal(ovarian teratoma)

* Teratomas belong to a class of tumors known as [[Nonseminoma|nonseminomatous]] [[germ cell tumor]] (NSGCT).
* All tumors of this class are the result of abnormal development of [[pluripotent]] cells: [[Germ cell|germ cells]] and [[Embryo|embryonal cells]].
* Teratomas of embryonal origin are [[Congenital disorder|congenital]]; teratomas of germ cell origin may or may not be congenital (this is not known).
* Embryonal teratomas most commonly occur in the sacrococcygeal region: [[sacrococcygeal teratoma]] is the single most common tumor found in [[Infant|newborn babies]].
| style="padding: 5px 5px; background: #F5F5F5;" |
* AFP
* MSAFP
* CT scans are often used to diagnose teratoma.
<br />
| style="padding: 5px 5px; background: #F5F5F5;" |
* For malignant teratomas, usually, surgery is followed by chemotherapy.
* Teratomas that are in surgically inaccessible locations, or are very complex, or are likely to be malignant (due to late discovery and/or treatment) sometimes are treated first with chemotherapy.
| style="padding: 5px 5px; background: #F5F5F5;" |
The prognosis of teratoma depends on the following:
:* Whether or not the tumor can be removed by surgery.
:* The size and location of the tumor
:* The patient’s general health
:* Teratomas are not dangerous for the fetus unless there is either a [[Mass effect (medicine)|mass effect]] or a large amount of blood flow through the tumor (known as ''vascular steal''). The mass effect frequently consists of obstruction of normal passage of fluids from surrounding organs. The vascular steal can place a strain on the growing heart of the fetus, even resulting in heart failure, and thus must be monitored by fetal [[echocardiography]].  After surgery, there is a risk of regrowth in place, or in nearby organs [[Teratoma natural history#cite%20note-1|[1]]]
