We present a small series of patients with stage I testicular sex-cord stromal tumours (TSCST), treated with organ-sparing surgery, which confirm its feasibility and safety in selected patients
The frozen sections showed a TSCST in 10 patients, which were treated with testis sparing surgery (TSS)
In 1 patient was performed an orchiectomy by seminoma in the frozen sections but the definitive histology showed a TSCST
Summary
We present a small series of patients with stage I testicular sex-cord stromal tumours (TSCST), treated with organ-sparing surgery, which confirm its feasibility and safety in selected patients. Testicular sex-cord stromal tumours (TSCST) arise from nongerminal cell-lines of the male testis: Leydig cell tumours are the most common subtype (75-80%) but this group of tumours includes Sertoli and granulosa cell tumours, mixed and undifferentiated tumours, thecomas and fibromas. They can occur at any age with a range from 12 to 76 years [1]. We present a small series of patients with stage I TSCST, treated with organ sparing surgery, which confirm its feasibility and safety in selected patients
