Overview
The exact pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma is not fully understood. Gonadal development starts at 5 weeks of gestation and continues according to sex chromosomes. Any defects in this complicated process leads to defective gonadal development and gonadal dysgenesis and subsequently, it may be converted to gonadoblastoma in 20% to 30% of the cases.
Pathophysiology
Physiology
Gonadal development starts at 5 weeks of gestation and continues according to sex chromosomes. Any defects in this complicated process lead to defective gonadal development and gonadal dysgenesis.[1][2]
Pathogenesis
- The exact pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma is not completely understood.[3]
- Gonadoblastoma develop almost exclusively in dysgenetic gonads containing the Y chromosomal contents.
- The GBY gene locus, localized near the centromere of the Y chromosome, is hypothesized to be the culprit gene locus in the pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma.
- TSPY gene, one of the genes belonging to GBY locus, is observed to be over-expressed in the gonadoblastoma and other germ cell tumors, although its exact role is still unclear.
- There are case reports of genotypically normal women individuals with gonadoblastoma that suggests the existence of other mechanisms involving in the pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma.[4][5]
- It is hypothesized that the genotypically normal female individuals may have the TSPY putative gene on their X chromosomes or autosomes.[5]
Genetics
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of gonadoblastoma include:[6]
- TSPY
Associated Conditions
The following disorders are associated with the development of gonadoblastoma:
- XY gonadal dysgenesis[7]
- Frasier syndrome[8]
- WAGR syndrome[9]
- Swyer syndrome[10]
- 9p partial monosomy[11]
Gross Pathology
- Gross pathology of tumor greatly depends on the degree of germ cells overgrowth and calcification.[12]
- The tumor is firm and cartilaginous with a yellow to a brown-grey color.
- It may be calcified partly or almost completely.
- It may be very large, especially when accompanied by a dysgerminoma.
- Sometimes, it is hardly detectable in gross examination.
Microscopic Pathology
 |
Gonadoblastoma is formed from two different types of cells:[13]
- Larger cells resembling immature germ cells with varied degrees of atypia must be differentiated from the simultaneous invasive germ cell tumor.
- Smaller cells resembling the sex-cord stroma (granulosa or sertoli-like cells).
- Another kind of stromal cells (Leydig cells or lutein-like cells) may also exist, but their presence is not essential for the diagnosis. They tend to be present greatly after puberty.
The two essential type of cells forms a nest-like space in which, immature germ cells surrounded by sex-cord stromal cells. This nested arrangement is characteristic of gonadoblastoma.
- The nest is encircled by a basement membrane which can be hyalinized or even calcified.
- Calcification can be focal or extensive.
- Focal calcification is found in more than 80% of the individuals.
- The nodular pattern of hyalinized basement membrane encircled by stromal cells can also be present.
Gonadoblastoma may be classified pathologically into three forms:[12][14]
- Classical form as described above.
- Burnt-out form, in which the cells regress and the remnant is calcified and forms a mulberry-shaped calcification.
- Dissecting form, which has an infiltrative and cord like pattern rather than a nested arrangement. The clinical relevance of this pathological feature is that, it should be differentiated from germinoma.[15]
Immunohistochemistry
Gonadoblastoma has no specific laboratory feature, however, some immunohistochemistry staining can be positive including:[16][17]
- TSPY
- OCT3/4
- FoxL
- SF-1
- Sox9
