Large cell calcifying Sertoli tumor of the testis. Light microscopic and ultrastructural study.
Large cell calcifying Sertoli tumor of the testis was found in a 16-year-old boy who had presented with gynecomastia. Serum estrogen level, which had been elevated preoperatively, returned to normal following orchiectomy. Charcot-Bottcher crystalloids are demonstrated in the neoplastic Sertoli cells.
