Abstract:
Large-cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumor (LCCSCT) of the testis is an exceptionally rare lesion, found sparsely in any medical literature. There is a correlation between this entity and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and Carney complex (40% of tumors). The remaining 60% of tumors are sporadic. A 13-year-old male patient underwent a left partial orchiectomy. Intraoperative frozen section was used, and pathology revealed a benign LCCSCT with negative margins. To our knowledge, there is not a case in the literature of an LCCSCT being treated with partial orchiectomy in a pubertal male with a normal contralateral testis.
