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.
