Very late extragonadal recurrence of testicular seminoma presenting as a bladder mass: a case report. (PubMed, Ann Med Surg (Lond))
It also emphasizes that normal tumor marker levels do not exclude recurrence and that histopathological confirmation remains essential for accurate diagnosis. Recognition of unusual presentations in long-term survivors of germ cell tumors is important to facilitate timely diagnosis and appropriate management.

The RNA helicase DDX53 (CAGE) contributes to RNA metabolism in a human germ cell model. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Our data indicate that DDX53 protein acts as a regulator of RNA metabolism in human cells. Collectively, we show that DDX53 participates in transcriptome regulation (including splicing) in male germ cells and exhibits transcriptomewide RNA interactions, but its wider biological role remains to be clarified.

Machine learning of multiparametric MRI radiomics preoperatively distinguishes testicular seminoma from non-seminoma: a multicenter study. (PubMed, Abdom Radiol (NY))
A combined model utilising DWI, ADC, T2WI, and contrast-enhanced T1WI imaging, alongside AFP and cystic necrosis, demonstrates high precision, adaptability, and robustness in distinguishing seminoma from non-seminoma testicular tumors.

Clinical Manifestations, Tumor Associations, and Long-Term Outcomes of Anti-KLHL11 Encephalitis. (PubMed, Neurol Neuroimmunol Neuroinflamm)
Anti-KLHL11 encephalitis mainly related to infratentorial encephalitis but can also present as limbic encephalitis and rarely as meningitis. Early diagnosis enables early oncological and immunologic treatment, hopefully improving outcomes.

Multi-omic screening identifies RBMXL3 as a primate-specific RNA-binding protein and candidate regulator of RNA metabolism in human spermatogenesis. (PubMed, Cell Mol Biol Lett)
Our findings for the first time identify primate-specific RBMXL3 protein as a new upstream regulator of RNA metabolism, characterized by broad RNA-binding activity in human TCam-2 cells. Finally, we show that RBMXL3 expression heavily reduces LINE-1 retrotransposition in human cells, underlying RBMXL3 importance in maintaining genome integrity. Our data suggest that RBMXL3 may contribute to the regulation of transcriptome dynamics in male germ cells, while its broader functional implications remain to be determined.

Giant seminoma presenting as a long standing hydrocele: a diagnostic challenge. (PubMed, J Surg Case Rep)
Histopathology confirmed classical seminoma, staged as pT1b. This case highlights that long standing hydrocele with atypical features may conceal testicular malignancy, and early ultrasonography with tumor marker assessment is essential for timely diagnosis.

Glutathione peroxidase 2 expression in human tumors: a tissue microarray study on 18,555 tumors. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
It is concluded, that GPX2 expression is common in cancer and preferably occurs in tumor entities derived from normal cell types with high GPX2 expression. In these tumors, reduced GPX2 expression is often linked to features of aggressive disease.

Giant testicular seminoma with atypical painful presentation and delayed diagnosis: a case report. (PubMed, J Surg Case Rep)
Post-operatively, tumour markers declined significantly, and the patient was commenced on bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin chemotherapy. This case emphasizes that painful scrotal swelling does not exclude malignancy and highlights the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management.
