Multinucleated spermatogonia in cryptorchid boys: a possible association with an increased risk of testicular malignancy later in life?
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
At birth, undescended testes contain germ cells, but after 1 year of life, a reduced number of germ cells is generally found. Microlithiasis and carcinoma-in-situ-testis occur in cryptorchid boys. Multinucleated germ cells, including at least 3 nuclei in the cell, exist in impaired spermatogenesis and in the senescent testis.
