Zusammenfassung

In der 5. Edition der WHO-Klassifikation für Tumoren der ableitenden Harnwege und des männlichen Genitaltraktes gab es einige Neuerungen der bestehenden Klassifikationen. Sie werden in diesem Artikel zusammengefasst und betreffen u. a. die Bezeichnungen neuroektodermaler und neuroendokriner Tumoren des Hodens. Daneben wurden der siegelringzellige Stromatumor und der myoidale Gonadenstromatumor als eigenständige Entitäten der Gonadenstromatumoren eingeführt. Außerdem wurden jeweils gemeinsame Kapitel für hämatolymphoide Neoplasien sowie Weichgewebstumoren der ableitenden Harnwege und des männlichen Genitaltraktes geschaffen.

Abstract

The 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours: Urinary and Male Genital Tumours includes some important revisions of the testicular tumour classifications, which are summarized in this article. They concern, for example, the definition of tumours of neuroectodermal and neuroendocrine origin. Furthermore, signet-ring stromal tumours and myoid gonadal stromal tumours are listed as separate entities in the section about sex-cord stromal tumours. Moreover, lymphatic neoplasia as well as soft tissue tumours of the urinary and male genital tract are each combined in a common section.
