Seminoma

Gross: pale gray to yellow nodules that are uniform or slightly lobulated and often bulge from the cut surface
  • Complete blood count and blood chemistry tests.[1]
  • Abnormal serum tumor marker levels (LDH, HCG).[1][2]
  • CT: Metastases to the para-aortic, inguinal, or iliac lymph nodes. Visceral metastasis may also be seen.
  • Pelvic MRI: may be diagnostic. multinodular tumors of uniform signal intensity
  • Hypo- to isointense on T2-weighted images and inhomogenous enhancement on contrast enhanced T1-weighted images.[3]
  • Other diagnostic studies for seminoma include biopsy, FDG-PET scan, and bone scan.[4]
