Cytogenetic Findings of an Undifferentiated Testicular Sarcoma

Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1. Gross tumor was surrounded by tunica albuginea. Cut sections showed various parts including yellowish-white solid part, myxomatous part, hemorrhage and necrotic part.
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Tumor cells had irregularly shaped bundles of pleomorphic spindle or round cells, oval shaped, and irregularly shaped hyperchromatic nuclei with coarsely granular chromatin particles. Most of these cells had pale staining cytoplasm (H&E).
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Isolated small number of cells had large eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm with round nuclei (H&E).
Figure 4.
Figure 4. A few large cells that have eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm were stained by MSA.
Figure 5.
Figure 5. FISH displayed orange signals for the chromosome 12 centromeric prove (orange arrow) and green signals for 12p (green arrow).
