Background: Germ cell tumours are uncommon neoplasms that generally arise in the gonads, although several cases have being reported in the extragonadal sites. This study describes the histopathological features of cases seen over a ten year period in a tertiary institution in Nigeria. Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the histopathologic pattern of germ cell tumours as seen at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Zaria, Nigeria. The objectives of this study are: to determine the prevalence, age and sex distribution and anatomical sites distribution of germ cell tumours. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of cases of Germ Cell Tumours diagnosed histologically at the Department of Pathology, Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) Zaria between January 2004-December 2013. The data was analyzed with respect to age, sex, anatomical sites and histopathological pattern. The Haematoxylin and Eosin stained slides were reviewed and where necessary, the paraffin blocks were recut and stained. The 2004 World Health Organization (WHO) Histopathological Classification of germ cell tumours was used in this study for testicular and ovarian germ cell tumours.
