Abstract

Sertoli cell tumors are a rare malignancy which account for approximately 1.5 % of all testicular tumors. Although malignant Sertoli cell tumors are uncommon, they are associated with a poor prognosis. So far 36 cases of malignant courses of disease have been described. We present a patient with a lymphogenic metastasized Sertoli cell tumor, who 24 months after orchiectomy and extended retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy is relapse-free.
