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.
  • Poorly differentiated tumours have sarcomatous features.[1]
  • May present with masculinization (virilization).[2]

Microscopic

Features:

  1. Sertoli or Leydig cells.[1]
    • 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.
  2. Stroma.
  3. +/- Sarcomatous features (mucinous glands, bone, cartilage).

  • Vimentin +ve.[5]
  • Calretinin +ve.
  • CD99 +ve.

Others:[5]

  • CD34 -ve.
  • Cytokeratin -ve (usually).
