Sertoli cell tumor in an HIV+ man.
A 31 year old human immunodeficiency virus positive (HIV+) patient presented with an asymptomatic left testicular mass. Radical orchiectomy was performed, and pathology revealed a Sertoli cell tumor. This unique case prompted a review of the literature on testicular tumors in HIV patients, with special emphasis on incidence, tumor type and therapeutic alternatives.
