Table 2.
Malignancy risk based upon type of gonadal dysgenesis, location of gonad, gross pathology, and immunohistochemistry
Low risk | Intermediate risk | High risk | |
---|---|---|---|
Degree of virilization |
Normally virilized males |
Mild undervirilization |
Ambiguous genitalia |
Location of gonad |
Scrotal gonad with normal appearance |
Inguinal gonad |
Abdominal gonad |
Gross pathology |
-Streak gonad without germ cells |
Dysgenetic testicle that is OCT 3/4 positive with intermediate risk criteria |
-Undifferentiated gonadal tissue |
-Ovary | |||
- Testicle (OCT 3/4 negative) | |||
- Dysgenetic testicle that is OCT 3/4 negative |
-Dysgenetic testicle that is OCT 3/4 positive with high risk criteria |
||
Immunohistochemistry | OCT 3/4 negative | OCT 3/4 positive cells located luminally, scattered within the whole gonad, TSPY negative or weakly positive, SCF negative, age < 1 year. | OCT 3/4 positive cells located in the basal lamina, focal location, TSPY strongly positive, SCF positive, age > 1 year. |
