Seminoma

Seminomas, also known as seminal tumors, are a type of malignant tumor that occurs in the male genital organs. Although they are most often found in the testicles and epididymis, they can also affect other organs such as the prostate and kidneys. Ovarian cancer is rare, but it can have serious consequences and requires prompt treatment.

Seminomas are formed from spermatogenic cells, that is, cells responsible for the formation of sperm (male germ cells). As a result of the rapid division of these cells, irregularly shaped tumors are formed, similar to testicular tissue. They have a dense stroma and often grow unnoticed. Seminomas differ from other types of cancer in that they are not considered hereditary diseases, but are caused by various factors, such as carcinogens or ionizing radiation.

Symptoms of seminoma may include testicular discomfort, testicular enlargement, painful urination, blood

What is seminoma?

Seminoma is a malignant tumor of the germ cells of the testicles. This disease mostly affects men, and this conclusion was first issued in 1936. Less common is the female form of seminoma, which primarily affects the uterus or ovary. The seminomatic tumor has an ICD-10 code of D29. The ICD 10 code for seminomatous embryonal tumor of the uterine appendage corresponds to code D38.4. The disease has been known to mankind for many centuries. This malignant neoplasm occurs in one case out of 250 childhood cancers. Approximately 4% of patients are aged 80 years or older.

Classification

The dimensions of the root cause for classification of education are not large enough or there are variations. Most often, seminoma is characterized mainly by the following tumor parameters: size, location, structure. Classification:

- Initial classification according to the composition of the tumor (histological). It is divided into the following subtypes: * Seminoblastic seminoma: + Seminoma without differentiation; - Embryonic seminomal seminoma. Includes the following forms: 1. Single-layer; 2. Multilayer; 3. Squamous; 4. Shimmering; 5. Vesicular or basophilic; 6. Promesinform (infiltrative).

Based on their consistency, neoplasms are divided into hard, hard, soft or mixed. Based on their structure, they are classified as intravesical and encapsulated. The latter seems to be the most common form. By location there are extracranial and cranial. Extracranial localization allows us to identify the presence of primary manifestations of the neoplasm. Cranial spreads through the circulatory system to the brain. During the examination, specialists determine the size, structure and location of the tumor.
