Our study provides further evidence that prepubertal-type (type I) teratomas may appear in adult testes, thus teratomas in adults may be either benign (type I) or malignant (type II). IMP3 expression may aid the distinction between type I and type II teratomas of the postpubertal testis even when GCNIS and 12p status cannot be assessed.
