The 2022 World Health Organization classification of germ cell tumors and updates of American Joint Committee for Cancer tumor staging classification
Testicular tumors are most common in young men between 15 and 45 years of age. Germ cell tumors make up the biggest proportion of malignant tumors of the testis. Due to the diverse morphologic spectrum and overlapping morphologies, it is a very challenging area in the anatomic pathology field, which needs significant expertise and experience to render a precise diagnosis. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently presented a new tumor classification with significant modifications in nomenclature as well as some refinement of criteria.
