Gonadoblastoma is a rare germ cell tumour with sex cord elements.

General

  • Associated with abnormal sexual development.
  • Often coexist with a dysgerminoma.
  • A mixed tumour that consists of (1) primitive germ cells and (2) sex cord elements.

Gross

  • +/-Cystic.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Immature germ cells resembling Sertoli cells or granulosa cells.[citation needed]
    • Sertoli cells = moderate cytoplasm in a trabecular or tubular architecture.
    • Granulosa cells = form follicle-like structures.
      • May form nests.
  • Primitive germ cells resemble those of a dysgerminoma.
    • Polygonal cells with a central nucleus, squared-off nuclear membrane and clear cytoplasm.
  • +/-Calcification (very common).
  • +/-Eosinophilic basement membrane material between the (primitive) germ cells and support cells.[2]
