Sertoli-Leydig cell testicular tumor: case report and review of sex cord/gonadal stromal tumor histogenesis.
We describe a case of well differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor in a testicle. Previously, this tumor has only been illustrated histologically. The existence of a male homologue to the female arrhenoblastoma containing Sertoli and Leydig cells again supports the current hypothesis of gonadal development, and the common steps found in the male and female pathways.
