Keay, MD, Dimitris K. Grammatopoulos, PhD, Harpal S. Randeva, MD, PhD  The American Journal of Medicine  Volume 130, Issue 6, Pages e261-e263 (June 2017) DOI: /j.amjmed Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

2 Figure 1 Whole-body, contrast-enhanced computed tomography reveals a 7 × 6 × 5-cm mass of the anterior mediastinum without evidence of further disease dissemination in the thorax and abdomen.

3 Figure 2 Fatty and nodular tissue from an extratesticular germ cell tumor of the anterior mediastinum infiltrating the thymus gland. Histopathologic examination of the excised mediastinal tissue revealed a mixed primarily seminomatous (95%) with minor teratomatous (5%) component germ cell tumor in the background thymic tissue.

4 Figure 3 Hematoxylin–eosin staining showing germ cells infiltrating the background thymus and granuloma. Immunohistochemistry was positive for PLAP, CD117, OCT3/4, and CAM 5.2(dot-like), and negative for aFP, CD30 (ruling out yolk sac and embryonal carcinoma origin), CD56, TTF-1, and CK5 (ruling out metastases, lung primary, and thymoma).

5 Figure 4 Testosterone levels in relation to interventions throughout disease clinical course. Normotestosteronemia: 9-26 nmol/L. Hypotestosteronemia: <9 nmol/L. Hypertestosteronemia: >26 nmol/L.
