Comparative Immunomorphology of Testicular Sertoli and Sertoliform Tumors

Sertoli cell (SC) and sertoliform tumors of the testis are very uncommon; for this reason their differential diagnosis and classification can be challenging. We applied an extensive immunophenotypic panel that included androgenic hormones, enzymes and receptors, neuroendocrine, lineage and genitourinary markers to a series of these lesions to determine if and which immunostains can aid in their diagnostic workup. Study cases included: 2 androgen insensitivity syndrome associated SC-adenomas, 3 SC tumors not otherwise specified (SCT-NOS), 3 sclerosing-SCT, 2 large cell calcifying-SCT, 1 SCT with heterologous-sarcomatous elements, 1 malignant SCT, and 1 sertoliform rete testis adenoma (sertoliform-RTA).
