Any ideas?
A 32-year-old male presents to primary care clinic with a painless testicular mass. On examination, the mass does not transilluminate. A scrotal ultrasound shows a hypoechoic mass in the left testicle. Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) is elevated. A testicular biopsy shows nests of cells with clear cytoplasm and centrally located nuclei. There are prominent nucleoli. The nests are separated by fibrous septa. From the list below, which of the following histological findings is commonly seen with this type of tumor?
a. Schiller-Duvall bodies
b. Lymphocytic infiltrate
c. Extensive fibrosis with a small focus of primary tumor
d. Syncytiotrophoblasts surrounding cytotrophoblasts forming
primitive placental villi
e. Call-Exner bodies
