Creator Prof. Sir Walter Mercer
DescriptionTeratoid tumour of the testis.
The testis is considerably enlarged and the outline distorted. On the cut surface it is clear that the testis is replaced by a multicystic tumour. The majority of the cysts are peripherally sited. The more solid part of the tumour presents a variegated appearance. Some parts are homogeneous pale pink opaque tissue, other areas are semi gelatinous and there are numerous small cysts throughout.
