Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The case of a 21year old man with complaints of pain in the lower abdomen reported in the surgery OPD. USG showed a case of undescended testis. A radical Orchidectomy was performed and the specimen was received in the department of pathology. Grossly the testis was normal .Microscopic examination showed the encapsulated nodule composed of tubules lined by immature Sertoli cells interspersed with tubules and Spermatogonia and an interwoven network of hyalinised basement membrane having foci of calcification. The findings were identical to those of a Sertoli cell nodule-A typically microscopic encapsulated lesion commonly detected in crypt orchid testes. Here we present a case of undescended testis where incidentally we found all the features of sertoli cell nodule.
