Testicular scar, also scar of testis, is a phenomenon that may arise in the context of treatment for a germ cell tumour[1] or result from the spontaneous regression of a (germ cell) tumour.[2]
General
- Well-reported uncommon finding.
Gross
- Tan-brown or white lesion.
Microscopic
Features:
- Seminiferous tubules replaced by fibrosis.
- Hyaline material with a relatively low cellularity and no nuclear atypia.
- +/-Hemosiderin-laden macrophages.
- Atrophic changes[2] - see testicular atrophy.
DDx:
- Necrotic tumour.
- Germ cell tumour, e.g. seminoma.
