Il arrive que le carcinome embryonnaire, la tumeur vitelline et le tératome soient parsemés de structures reproduisant, de façon très fidèle ou quelque peu caricaturale, un bouton embryonnaire ou l’un des premiers stades de segmentation d’un œuf humain fécondé. Lorsque ces formes embryoïdes sont abondantes au point de devenir prédominantes, on parle de polyembryome. 2, record 1, French, - polyembryome

La tumeur vitelline du testicule est encore appelée tumeur du sinus endodermique ou carcinome embryonnaire de type infantile, ou orchioblastome, ou adénocarcinome embryonnaire alors que la tumeur vitelline de l’ovaire ou tumeur du sinus endodermique, a été longtemps désignée sous le terme de mésonéphrome de Schiller ou de papillo-endothéliome ou de mésoblastome, en raison des ressemblances qu’on avait cru relever entre ses aspects histologiques et les glomérules du mésonéphrome, les proliférations endothéliales ou les mésoblastes de l’embryon. 2, record 2, French, - tumeur%20vitelline
