Summary
A testicular Sertoli cell tumor caused gynecomastia by producing estradiol (E2). Surgical removal of the tumor normalized E2 levels and resolved the gynecomastia, with no signs of disease recurrence.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- A 64-year-old male presented with a left scrotal mass and bilateral gynecomastia.
- Initial tumor markers for germ cell tumors were within normal limits.
- Elevated serum estradiol (E2) levels were detected during endocrinological examination.
