(67,68) The previously recognized unclassified type was eliminated based on insufficient evidence that it is different from sex cord-stromal tumors with entrapped, nonneoplastic germ cells. (69) One could also make an argument that gonado-blastoma is not a true mixed germ cell-sex cord stromal tumor because the sex cord cell component is almost certainly nonneoplastic and that it is, instead, a distinctive form of GCNIS with a characteristic morphology that occurs almost exclusively in the malformed testes of patients with disorders of sex development.
