+#* 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.
