Overview
Historical Perspective
Gonadoblastoma was first discovered by Dr. Scully in 1953. The association between GBY gene (GonadoBlastoma on the Y chromosome) and gonadoblastoma was made in 1986. In 1995, Tsuchiya found that the GBY gene located near the centromere of Y chromosome and contains multiple genes including Testis-specific protein Y-encoded (TSPY) gene.
Classification
Gonadoblastoma may be classified according to pathological appearance into three sub-types including classical, dissecting, and burnt-out.
