The spectrum of Sertoli cell tumors in children covers a wide range of testis and ovarian tumors classified as sex cord-stromal tumors. Sertoli cell tumor of the testis is extremely rare in the pediatric population. The American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Urology Prepubertal Testicular Tumor Registry has reported a total of six cases of Sertoli cell tumor of the testis, accounting for 1.3% of the 430 cases reported to the registry as of October 1996. Despite their rarity, Sertoli cell variants of sex cord-stromal tumors have generated keen interest because of their variable histologic appearance and biologic behavior, including endocrine activity. Because sex cord-stromal tumors occur in the ovary and testis, a primitive cellular origin to these tumors is likely in males and females.
