Concurrent seminoma and malignant lymphoma of the testis is rare. We present a case of concurrent seminoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) in a 54-year-old man who complained of painless left testicular enlargement. Radical left orchiectomy was performed. Macroscopically, the tumor (4.0 × 3.0 cm) was creamy, soft, and homogeneous, and microscopic evaluation revealed an alveolar structure of large cells that formed sheets, as well as colonization by other abnormal cells in a 1.0 × 1.0 cm area. The portion of the tumor comprising large abnormal cells was diagnosed as a seminoma, which was positive for c-kit by immunohistochemistry; the other portion was diagnosed as CD3/CD8, TIA, and granzyme B-positive PTCL-NOS. These two portions were clearly differentiated from one another. The patient received CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone) therapy and achieved complete response for 50 months. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of synchronous advanced seminoma and PTCL.

Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein G Antibody-Positive Paraneoplastic Myelopathy in Seminoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Article Synopsis
- - Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated disorders (MOGAD) are autoimmune diseases that can develop after infections, vaccinations, or even in rare cases linked to cancer (paraneoplastic context).
- - The article discusses a case where a patient developed subacute inflammatory myelopathy after their fourth mRNA COVID-19 vaccine dose, later diagnosed with MOGAD and a metastatic seminoma, and treated successfully.
- - An analysis of 72 cases showed most MOGAD instances post-vaccination occurred after the first dose with a typical onset around 19 days later, highlighting the possibility that vaccination may activate underlying autoimmune conditions rather than directly cause them, as seen in this patient.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the occurrence of rete hyperplasia and hyaline globules in germ cell tumors, with a focus on their potential to mimic yolk sac tumors, noting a significant misdiagnosis risk over the years.
- Out of 348 evaluated orchiectomies, 30% showed rete hyperplasia and/or hyaline globules, often without any yolk sac tumor component, suggesting a complexity in tumor classifications.
- The findings highlight the importance of accurately identifying these histological features, as they may indicate underlying testicular obstruction due to the tumor, which is crucial for proper treatment decisions.

Introduction: Prostatic metastasis from testicular cancer is extremely rare, with only 10 reported cases, all of which were diagnosed as relapse. Herein, we report the case of a patient with concurrent testicular cancer and prostatic metastasis.
Case Presentation: A 57-year-old man presented at our emergency department with urinary retention.
A Rare Coexistence of Seminoma and Hodgkin's Lymphoma in Hawai'i.
Hawaii J Health Soc Welf
December 2021
University of Hawai'i Cancer Center, Honolulu, HI (JB).
Both Hodgkin's lymphoma and testicular cancers can present in young men; however, concurrent Hodgkin's lymphoma with seminoma is very rare. When they do coexist, careful consideration must be made to avoid missing new cancer by assuming the presence of primary metastatic disease when lymphadenopathy presents. Here we present a rare case of coexistence of seminoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma and the staging and treatment challenges associated with a 2-cancer diagnosis.
