Image Description
Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma of the Testis: The large atypical lymphoid cells invade the periphery of the seminiferous tubules, displacing the germ cells and Sertoli cells centrally or completely replacing them. Prominent intratubular involvement is seen in rare cases. The remnants of atrophic tubules are visible as lighter pink islands in a sea of blue/purple tumor cells at low magnification.
