An Unusual Manifestation of Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm as a Testicular Tumor

Figure 1

Gross and representative H&E images. Gross findings showed a tan-red, hemorrhagic, well-circumscribed circular mass with focal areas of tan-white friable necrosis (a). At low power, diffuse, solid sheets of densely packed neoplastic cells infiltrating the testicular parenchyma, hilar soft tissue, epididymis, and spermatic cord (b–d) with sparing of the seminiferous tubules (e) were seen. At high power (f–h), medium-sized neoplastic cells showed blastoid morphology, scant agranular cytoplasm, irregular nuclei with fine to vesicular chromatin, and small nucleoli. Increased mitotic activity with atypical mitotic figures, areas of necrosis, and abundant apoptotic debris were seen.
