Tiny nodule in the testicle: case report of a sertoli cell tumor

Int J Urol. 2004 Jan;11(1):61-2. doi: 10.1111/j.1442-2042.2004.00727.x.

Abstract

Sex cord-stromal tumors of the testis are rare. We report on a small Sertoli cell tumor in the testicle. According to published reports, a nodular lesion on the testicle has a variety of differential diagnoses. Preoperatively, it is very difficult to differentiate between a tumorous lesion and an inflammatory change. When a tiny nodule in the testicle is encountered, we propose limited, testicular-sparing surgery according to the frozen section diagnosis.
