title: [Sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor of the testis in an HIV patient].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe an additional case of an uncommon variant of Sertoli cell testicular tumor.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 34-year-old male infected with the human immunodeficiency virus presented with a right testicular tumor he had noted one year earlier. A right inguinal orchidectomy was performed. Histological examination demonstrated sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Sertoli cell tumor is a rare variant of testicular tumor from sexual cords. Although it is uncommon, histological variants have been described: classical Sertoli cell tumor, large calcifying cells and the sclerosing variant. The case of sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor described herein is a variant of which 11 cases have been reported in the world literature. The fact that our patient is HIV-positive makes this case even rarer.
