Low-grade glial neoplasms of germ cell origin may represent maturation of embryonic-type neuroectodermal elements. [PDF]
HistopathologyAims Glial tumours of germ cell origin are relatively rare in men, occurring predominantly after chemotherapy. Many exhibit low‐grade histological features within a spectrum that includes teratomas with mature glial/ganglioglial elements and pure low‐grade tumours with glial/ganglioglial phenotype (LGGT) that ...

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors in patients with testicular germ cell tumors usually resemble pediatric-type central nervous system embryonal neoplasms and lack chromosome 22 rearrangements [PDF]
Modern Pathology, 2010 Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are one of the most frequent types of 'non-germ cell' tumor in patients with testicular germ cell tumors and have a guarded prognosis when present in metastatic sites after cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Improved treatments, including targeted therapy, require understanding the biology of these neoplasms.
