The second edition of this manual is the result of a collaborative effort of pathologists from nine countries, and it is more extensive than the previous edition, published in 1977. The basic historical classification of the various categories has been retained since it has gained popularity. The individual categories have been described in more detail, and a number of new entities have been included: placental site trophoblastic tumours; large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumours; cystic granulosa cell tumour of infancy; mixed germ cell cord/gonadal stromal tumour; unclassified tumours; tumours of ovarian epithelial type; testicular lesion of adrenogenital syndrome; and testicular lesion of androgen insensitivity syndrome.
