Abstract:
Sertoli cell tumor is a rare type of testicular tumor. In this study, a 70-year-old man was presented with a Sertoli cell tumor with non-classical findings. The patient noticed progressive swelling on the left hemiscrotum. Preoperative ultrasound findings were not consistent with the classic findings of the Sertoli cell tumor. Patients underwent radical left orchiectomy. The testis was multicystic and no clear parenchyma was seen. The pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of a Sertoli cell tumor.
