A rare case of Sertoli cell tumor in an adult male with testicular preservation

Abstract

Sertoli cell tumors are a rare subtype of testicular tumors. This report describes a 55-year-old male who presented with scrotal pain and a palpable mass. Diagnostic imaging revealed a hypoechoic mass in the left epididymis and a hyperechoic mass in the right testis. A right testis-sparing surgical procedure was performed, and subsequent histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of a benign Sertoli cell tumor. The patient experienced an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged on the same day. This case underscores the viability of testis-sparing surgery in the management of rare testicular tumors, emphasizing its potential for preserving testicular function.
