'''For patient information click [[Testicular cancer (patient information)|here]]'''.
==Overview==
'''Seminoma''' is one type of [[testicular cancer]]<ref>{{Dorlands|s_07|12728548}}</ref> that is believed to originate from the [[germinal epithelium]] of the [[seminiferous tubule]]s.  


==Presentation==
{{CMG}}{{AE}}{{SR}}
They produce bulky masses that can be up to ten times the size of a normal testis.

Peak incidence occurs in the 4th decade of life.  Histology shows large cells, clear sytoplasm, distinct cell membranes, and septated arcitecture.

==Treatment==
==Treatment==
In recent years, these tumors have been shown to have dramatic sensitivity to both [[radiotherapy]] and [[cytotoxic]] [[chemotherapy]]. The management of childhood seminoma is similar to that of adult seminoma. [[Orchiectomy]] is required in almost all cases.
