We describe an unusual fusocellular gonadal stromal tumour with a benign behaviour in the left testis from a 16-year-old man. The neoplasm consisted of a non-encapsulated proliferation of irregularly arranged, fusiform cell bundles in fibrous connective tissue. The tumour cells contained a slightly infolded nucleus, some dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae, abundant filament bundles which connected to subplasmalemmal electron-dense bodies, pinocytotic vesicles and a discontinuous basal lamina. The intercellular spaces were narrow and the tumour cells were joined by desmosomes. These cells were immunoreactive for muscle actin, alpha-actinin and vimentin. Focal immunostaining for collagen type IV was observed around the cells. No immunoreactivity for keratins, desmin S-100 protein or XIIIa factor was found. The findings suggest that the tumour arose from the peritubular myoid cells.
