Overview
An unusual testicular tumour with features of both sex cord tumour with annular tubules andlarge-cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumour is described. The tumour occurred in a 20-year-old man inthe left testis as a 1 cm-measuring well circumscribed solitary lesion. Histologically, it showedsertoliform annular tubules with included eosinophilic nodules as well as isolated large cells andcords to sheets of the cells lying in a sclerosing stroma. A few psammomatous microcalcificationswere seen. In contrast to similar cases reported before, the patient did not have any signs ofPeutz-Jeghers syndrome, feminization or other complex dysplastic syndromes. The case indicatesthat tumours of this type may occur in phenotypically normal patients like pure large cell calcify-ing Sertoli cell tumours or ovarian sex-cord tumours with annular tubules. It further supportsa close histogenetic relationship between these two entities.
