Abstract
- Sertoli cell tumors of the testis are very rare and are usually benign. Here we report a case of a Sertoli cell tumor of the testis in a 46-year-old man. His chief complaint was a painless, palpable testicular mass that he had for 4 years. Serum levels of tumor markers were within normal limits. Testicular ultrasonography showed a 1.5 cm sized well-demarcated nonhomogeneous echogenic mass in the left testis. Chest x-ray and abdominopelvic CT showed no metastasis. Radical orchiectomy was performed. Histopathology showed a Sertoli cell tumor with no evidence of malignancy.
