Malignant Sclerosing Sertoli Cell Tumour of Testis: A Rare Case Report with Review of Literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Sex cord stromal tumors of testis are rare, in which Sertoli cell tumor accounts for <10% of testicular neoplasms. Commonest age group includes 1st to 7th decade. Mean age being 42 years. Malignancy in sertoli cell tumor is very rare accounting for 1/10 and very few cases are reported in literature. These tumors are seen mostly in descended testes and known to have variable histological appearances. Vast majority are sporadic but some are associated with genetic syndromes. Here we report a case of rare sclerosing sertoli cell tumor with malignant transformation in a 29 years old patient representing a distinctive, therefore less described sub type of sertoli cell tumor in the testis. The purpose of this article is to describe a tumor which originates from primitive gonadal mesenchyme and shows the potentiality of its cells. This case is presented for its extreme rarity. Keywords: Malignant Sertoli cell tumour , sex cord stromal tumour, testicular tumour, tubular pattern
