PATIENT HISTORY

A right radical orchiectomy was then performed. Grossly, the tumor measured 3.2 x 2.9 x 2.4 cm and was confined to the tunica albuginea. It was grey-white to pink red, fleshy to friable and focally hemorrhagic with less than 5% necrosis (Figure 1). Representative microscopic images from both H&E sections (Figure 2) and immunohistochemical stains (Figure 3) are provided. What is the diagnosis?
