*[[AKA]] ''androblastoma''.
===General===
{{Main|Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour}}
*Sertoli and leydig cells are normal in the [[testis]].
*Poorly differentiated tumours have sarcomatous features.<ref name=Ref_PBoD1103>{{Ref PBoD|1103}}</ref>
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
# Sertoli ''or'' Leydig cells.<ref name=Ref_PBoD1103>{{Ref PBoD|1103}}</ref>
#* Leydig cells:
#** Abundant solid 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.
# Stroma.
# +/- Sarcomatous features (mucinous glands, bone, cartilage).
