Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT.—: Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) may arise as a somatic-type malignancy in germ cell tumors. In this setting, most PNETs resemble those of the central nervous system and lack chromosome 22 translocations. However, description of the morphologic and differentiation spectrum of PNETs arising from germ cell tumors is lacking. OBJECTIVE.—: To investigate the morphologic and immunohistochemical...
