Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour, also Sertoli-Leydig tumour, is a rare tumour of the gonad in the sex cord-stromal group of tumours.
General
- Sertoli and leydig cells are normal in the testis.
- Tumor was called androblastoma or arrhenoblastoma in the past
- May present with masculinization (virilization).[1]
- May present as abdominal swelling or pain.
- Generally a tumor of younger women and can present in children.[2]
- 75% younger than 30 years of age
- 10% over 50 years of age.
Microscopic
Features:
- Sertoli or Leydig cells.[3]
- Leydig cells:
- Polygonal pink cells
- Abundant solid or somewhat granular eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Round nuclei with fine chromatin and a small or indistinct nucleolus.
- Often in small clusters ~ 5-25 cells/cluster.
- Sertoli cells:
- Pale/clear vacuolated cytoplasm.
- Irregular nuclei with irregular/vacuolated-appearing chromatin.
- Architecture: tubules, cords or sheets.
- Classic Sertoli tubule shows an 'antipodal arrangement of nuclei'
- Nuclei sit near the basement membrane away from the tubule lumen.
- A fair bit of cytoplasm sits above the nucleus.
- Lumen is round.
- Classic Sertoli tubule shows an 'antipodal arrangement of nuclei'
- Mitotic activity may be much lower than expected for the degree of atypia (in comparison to adenocarcinoma).
- Stroma
- Varies from fibrous pink stroma in well differentiated tumors to cellular primative stroma in poorly differentiated tumors.
- +/-Stromal edema may be prominent
- Leydig cells:
- Growth Patterns:
- Well-differentiated.
- Hollow or solid tubules of mature Sertoli cells with Leydig cells in the intervening stroma.
- Intermediate (most common).
- Jumbled admixture of dark blue Sertoli cells and Leydig cells.
- Lobules comprising sheets of Sertoli cells.
- Some areas of tubules.
- Poorly differentiated.
- Masses of malignant spindle cells – sheets of cells can be reminiscent of fibrosarcoma or granulosa cell tumour.
- Tubules may be a very minor element.
- Poorly differentiated tumours have sarcomatous features.[3]
- Retiform.[4]
- Tumour resembles rete testis/ovary with an irregular network of elongated slit-like tubules and cysts, which may contain papillae.
- With heterologous element.
- Mucinous intestinal-type epithelium, cartilage, skeletal muscle.
- Heterologous elements can occur in retiform or poorly differentiated tumours.
- +/-Sarcomatous features (mucinous glands, bone, cartilage).
- Well-differentiated.
DDx:
- Endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary (sertoliform variant)
- Should be positive for EMA, CK7 and negative for inhibin and calretinin.[5]
- Should have some characteristic areas of endometriod carcinoma and may have some typical features
- Cilia, squamous metaplasia, mucin production
- Luteinized adult granulosa cell tumour - super rare, 50% of cell with eosinophilic cytoplasm, other findings of granulosa cell tumour, e.g. Call-Exner bodies. More likely to be keratin negative than a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor. [6]
- Ovarian carcinosarcoma - especially considering poorly differentiated versions with heterologous areas.
Retiform variant
- Ovarian serous carcinoma - generally carcinoma patients are older.
- Ovarian yolk sac tumor

Prognosis
- Dependant on degree of differentiation and stage at presentation.[7]
- Heterologous mesenchymal elements may portend a worse outcome.[8]
IHC
Features:[9]
- Inhibin +ve
- Calretinin +ve.
- WT-1 +ve.
- Melan A (MART-1) +ve - marks the Leydig component.
- Vimentin +ve.[10]
- CD99 +ve.
- AE1/AE3 and PanKeratin +ve
Others:[10]
- CD34 -ve.
- EMA -ve.
- CK7 -ve.
Keep in mind that this is a biphasic tumor - Leydig cells will not be Pan-keratin positive - Sertoli cells do not express calretinin - Both components express inhibin - etcetera - interpreting this immunopanal requires correlation with the histomorphology. Immunoreactivity may be focal.
Pan-keratins and AE1/AE3 may mark granulosa cell tumors and Sertoli cell tumors causing confusion with adenocarcinoma. EMA is a better marker to exclude an epithelial tumor as EMA is negative in sex cord-stromal tumors. Highlighting why a panel of stains is needed, endometrioid adenocarcinomas may occasionally weakly express inhibin, calretinin or WT-1.
