title: Tiny nodule in the testicle: case report of a sertoli cell tumor.
abstract: Sex cord-stromal tumors of the testis are rare. We report on a small Sertoli cell tumor in the testicle. According to published reports, a nodular lesion on the testicle has a variety of differential diagnoses. Preoperatively, it is very difficult to differentiate between a tumorous lesion and an inflammatory change. When a tiny nodule in the testicle is encountered, we propose limited, testicular-sparing surgery according to the frozen section diagnosis.
