| description | Sex cord tumors of the testis in post pubertal men are rare. Mixed leydig-Sertoli-Granulosa sex cord tumors are exceptionally rare. To the best of our knowledge there is only three reported similar cases in the literature. We reported a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with huge left scrotal mass of 6-years duration. The gross tumor specimen after resection measured 11 cm in diameter. Histological examination revealed mixed sex cord stromal tumor. This case demonstrates the limited ability of accurate diagnostic determination preoperatively, with pathologic examination and immune-histochemical staining post-orchiectomy representing the only definitive means of diagnosis. It also highlights the unique radiological appearances of this tumor, which are not previously reported in literature. |
