Prevalence uncommon

Sertoli cell tumour is a sex cord-stromal tumour typically found in the testis. It is occasionally seen in women.

General

  • Arises from Sertoli cells (AKA nurse cells).
  • Occasionally seen in women.[1]

May be seen in several syndrome - esp. if there is calcification:

Microscopic

Features:

  • Groups of cells in cords or trabeculae (beam-like arrangement).
  • Cells have:
    • Light staining bubbly cytoplasm +/- large cytoplasmic vacuoles.
    • Slightly irregular nucleoli.
    • Granular irregular appearing chromatin.

Negatives:

  • Mitoses are rare.
  • No significant nuclear atypia.

DDx:

IHC

  • Alpha-inhibin +ve (~95% of cases[4]).
  • Calretinin +ve (~55% of cases[4]).
  • Beta-catenin +ve (nuclear).[5]
    • Negative beta-catenin should make one consider other diagnoses.[citation needed]
    • May be negative in malignant sertoli cell tumours.
  • SF-1 +ve.[6]
    • Germ cell tumours -ve.
