    Abstract:
    We report here a case of sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor of the testis. A 21-year-old male, who complained of right testicular pain, visited a Jikei University affiliated hospital on May 30th, 1999. A small nodule with a diameter of 6 to 7 mm was palpable on the central surface of the right testis. No tumor markers for testicular cancer, such as hCG-beta and alfa-fetoprotein, were elevated. However, ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic mass with increased blood flow. Therefore, we performed right high orchiectomy under the diagnosis of right testicular cancer. Pathological diagnosis of this tumor was sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor. Neither recurrence nor metastasis has been found for 12 months postoperatively.
