Key result
Incidental testicular sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor shows favorable clinical outcome at 9 months.
Case Report (n=1)
Sclerosing Sertoli cell tumors are a distinct histological subtype with specific clinical features and apparent malignant potential.
Short-term favorable outcome in one case; leaves open malignant potential and optimal follow-up for this rare tumor.
PURPOSE: A case of sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor of the testis is reported. The histological and clinical features are compared to those of other Sertoli cell tumor subtypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The current urological and pathological literature was reviewed. RESULTS: The tumor was identified incidentally in a 35-year-old white man. Pathological examination was performed and the patient was well at 9 months. CONCLUSIONS: Sertoli cell tumors are heterogeneous and not accurately considered a uniform entity. The currently recognized variants differ in apparent malignant potential as well as the association with disease processes in other unrelated organ systems.

Gregory A. Anderson (1995) conducted a case report in Sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor of the testis (n=1). Pathological examination was evaluated on Clinical outcome. A 35-year-old man with an incidentally identified sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor of the testis was well at 9 months following pathological examination.
