Teratomas are nonseminomatous germ cell tumors composed of elements derived from more than one germinal layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm). Malignant transformation of teratoma in the testis is well known; however, benign somatic neoplasm arising in a testicular teratoma is a rare occurrence. We report a case of meningothelial variant of meningioma arising in a pure and mature teratoma of the testis in a 5-year-old boy. Immunohistochemistry was positive for epithelial membrane antigen and vimentin. To our knowledge, this is the first report of meningothelial meningioma in a prepubertal testicular teratoma.

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a histologically heterogeneous group of tumors that arise from the primitive germ cell of the embryonic gonad. Choriocarcinoma is a variant of GCTs that is prone to hematogenous metastasis to the liver, lung, and brain. Cutaneous metastasis in choriocarcinoma is rarely encountered with only a few cases reported in literature. We report the case of a 28-year-old male presenting with lower back pain that, upon further work-up, was diagnosed with pure choriocarcinoma of the testes. Around 9 months after his initial presentation, he developed a cutaneous back lesion. Microscopic examination confirmed the presence of choriocarcinoma composed of mononuclear cytotrophoblasts which interweave with multinucleated syncytiotrophoblasts. The patient passed away 3 weeks after the onset of cutaneous metastasis.
