It is not a germ cell tumor.
It is a transitional cell tumor. The epithelial cells are consist nests of cells resembling transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder. The nuclei are round or oval and have small nucleoli and a characteristic feature of the Brenner tumour is a longitudinal nuclear groove, called " coffee bean"
