- Germ cells are the cells that develop in the embryo and become they make up the reproductive system in males and females.
- After the development of germ cells, they follow the body midline path and descend into the pelvis as ovarian cells or into the scrotal sac as testicular cells.
- Th ovaries and testes are called gonads and many ovarian and testicular tumors have germ cell origin.
- The pathophysiology of germ cell tumors is different based on the classification of germ cell tumors
- Germ cell tumors are classified as;
- Gonadal
- seminoma
- Dysgerminoma
- Extragonadal
- Gonadal
