Testicular Large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumours (LCCSTs) are extremely rare. The primary challenge in benign LCCSTs, which are typically multifocal and bilateral tumours affecting young males, is to confirm the diagnosis to avoid radical intervention and preserve fertility potential. Patient clinical presentation, laboratory results, diagnostic radiological tests along with confirmatory histopathological studies, are the cornerstones in such cases, nevertheless genetic testing is warranted, as LCCSTs can be part of genetic syndrome such Carney complex. We present a case of bilateral benign LCCSTs in young male managed with testicular preservation approach with characteristic clinical, radiological and histopathological features.
