Large Cell Calcifying Sertoli Cell Tumor of the Testis

Abstract

We report on a patient with a large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumor of the testis and review the literature of this recently described rare subtype of Sertoli cell tumor. Twenty-one cases, including ours, have been reported in the literature. Six of twenty cases (28%) had clinically evident endocrine abnormalities and eight of twenty-one cases (38%) were bilateral. This tumor has a low malignant potential with only one patient known to have metastatic disease.
