Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox medical condition (new) A Sertoli cell nodule is a benign proliferation of Sertoli cells that arises in association with cryptorchidism (undescended testis).[1] They are not composed of a clonal cell population, i.e. neoplastic; thus, technically, they should not be called an adenoma.[2]
Pathology
Sertoli cell nodules are unencapsulated nodules that consist of:[2][3][4]
- cells arranged in well-formed tubules (that vaguely resemble immature Sertoli cells), with
- bland hyperchromatic oval/round nuclei that are stratified, and
- may contain eosinophilic (hyaline) blob in lumen (centre).
