The sections show seminiferous tubules surrounded by thick hyaline membranes.  In a large number of sections only Sertoli cells are found in the tubules.   
The sections show seminiferous tubules surrounded by thick hyaline sleeves.  In a large number of sections only Sertoli cells are found in the tubules.   


In some sections poorly defined paucicellular tubular structures reminiscent of seminiferous tubules composed of hyaline material are present; these probably represent obsolete seminiferous tubules.  Focally, fibrosis is seen without definite tumour outlines.  There is no significant inflammation.  The rete testis is identified.
