title: Dysplastic nevi and germ cell tumors of the testis--a possible further tumor in the spectrum of associated malignancies in dysplastic nevus syndrome.
abstract: Even though the exact spectrum of tumors is not yet defined in the dysplastic nevus syndrome (DNS), the increasing frequency of associated cancers is remarkable. The observation of 4 patients with sporadic form of DNS suffering from seminoma or embryonal carcinoma of the testicle suggests that germ cell tumors of the testis represent another form of associated cancer in DNS.
