===General===
{{Main|Sertoli cell nodule}}
*Benign proliferation of Sertoli cells - associated with cryptorchidism (undescended testis).
*Not composed of a clonal cell population, i.e. ''not'' neoplastic; thus, technically, should not be called an ''adenoma''.<ref name=Ref_DCHH227>{{Ref DCHH|227}}</ref>

*Unencapsulated nodules composed of well-formed tubules.
**May contain eosinophilic (hyaline) blob in lumen (centre).
*Cells - vaguely resemble immature Sertoli cells:
**Bland hyperchromatic oval/round nuclei that are stratified.

===Sign out===
<pre>
TESTICLE, LEFT, ORCHIECTOMY:
- ATROPHIC TESTICLE.
- SERTOLI CELL NODULES.
- NEGATIVE FOR INTRATUBULAR GERM CELL NEOPLASIA.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
 
COMMENT:
The above findings are supported by immunostains. The tubules stain with alpha-inhibin and
are negative for PLAP.
