Partial Orchiectomy for the Treatment of a Benign Sclerosing Sertoli Cell Tumor: A Report of a Rare Tumor in Association With Testicular Microlithiasis

Abstract

The diagnosis of a testicular sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor is rare. Approximately 17 cases have been previously described in the literature worldwide. We present a case and review the evaluation and surgical management of a sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor presenting in a 26 year-old African-American adult, in association with testicular microlithiasis and oligospermia. Imaging techniques and the pathological assessment will be reviewed.

“…The association of TM with testicular tumors has been documented in the literature. Case reports have been published that demonstrate diagnosis of TM and a concurrent testicular malignancy 6,7 as well as a patient with diagnosed TM who subsequently later developed a testicular tumor. 8 Many retrospective studies, 9,10 longitudinal follow-up studies, 11 and cross-sectional studies 12 have found statistically significant associations with TM and concurrent or development of testicular malignancies compared to the general population.…”
