Sertoli cell tumor
A Sertoli cell tumor is a type of rare tumor that develops in the Sertoli cells of the testes, which are responsible for supporting sperm production. These tumors can be benign or malignant and may cause symptoms like testicular swelling or hormonal changes, such as increased estrogen levels leading to breast enlargement. Diagnosis involves physical exams, imaging, and often removal of the tumor for testing. Treatment typically includes surgery to remove the affected testis. Although rare, early detection and treatment are important for good outcomes.
