Comments:
Gross Pathology: The tumor size ranges from microscopic to 8-10 cm. Pure gonadoblastomas are small (microscopic to 3-5 cm) and may not be apparent grossly. The cut surface is solid, yellow-tan, and nodular with gritty calcified areas. Some tumors are completely calcified. Gonadoblastomas associated with a malignant germ cell tumor (GCT) are much larger and the gross appearance depends upon the type of invasive GCT.
