Gonadal Stromal Tumors, Testis<br />

(Left) Sagittal grayscale<br />

ultrasound of the left testis in<br />

this 18-year-old man<br />

demonstrates a hypoechoic,<br />

solid mass . (Right)<br />

Corresponding color Doppler<br />

ultrasound of the left testis in<br />

the same patient shows<br />

presence of marked internal<br />

vascularity . Pathology<br />

confirmed a Leydig cell tumor.<br />

Diagnoses: Scrotum<br />

(Left) Leydig cell tumor (LCT)<br />

is often a well-circumscribed<br />

mass with a homogeneous<br />

yellow-tan cut surface. Focal<br />

cystic change is present .<br />

Hemorrhage or necrosis is<br />

lacking. LCT often do not<br />

replace the entire testis.<br />

(Right) A well-circumscribed<br />

Sertoli cell tumor with a tanwhite<br />

firm cut surface ſt is<br />

shown. The gross finding is<br />

different from Leydig cell<br />

tumor, which usually is tanbrown<br />

to yellow due to high<br />

lipid content.<br />

(Left) Granulosa cell tumor<br />

shows a well-circumscribed,<br />

homogeneous, tan-white<br />

nodule . The tumor is small<br />

<strong>and</strong>, like many sex cord<br />

stromal tumors, does not<br />

extensively involve the testis.<br />

Hemorrhage <strong>and</strong> necrosis are<br />

lacking. (Right) Gross photo<br />

shows a well-circumscribed,<br />

unclassified sex cord stromal<br />

tumor (SCST) . It has<br />

heterogeneous, soft, tan<br />

nodular areas with dense<br />

white fibrotic septa. SCSTs<br />

frequently do not replace the<br />

entire testis.<br />
