Molecular Genetic Evidence Supporting the Origin of Somatic-type Malignancy and Teratoma From the Same Progenitor Cell
15 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Occasionally, testicular teratomas have been observed to occur in association with somatic-type malignancies. The latter may be seen in the primary germ cell tumor or, more commonly, in metastases after chemotherapy. The molecular-genetic relationship between the teratoma and the somatic-type malignancy is uncertain. We examined 27 pairs of teratoma and somatic-type malignancies in metastatic lesions. Interphase...
