Testicular embryonal cell carcinoma is a type of non-seminomatous germ cell tumor.

Epidemiology

Incidence peaks at around 25-30 years.

Pathology

It may occur as part of a mixed germ cell tumor (more common and may be present as a component in around 80% of mixed germ cell tumors) or very rarely in pure form. It has components of primitive anaplastic-appearing epithelial cells.
