Unclassified sex cord/gonadal stromal tumors (SCSTs) of the testis comprised predominantly of spindle cells are extremely rare. It is important to differentiate these tumors from other testicular neoplasms, especially other types of sex cord/gonadal stromal tumors. In addition to histological criteria, immunohistochemistry plays an important role in the differential diagnosis. We describe a single case of this rare tumor type and discuss the differential diagnostics options based on a review of the related literature. The problem of the lack of reliable morphological prognostic factors is also addressed.
睾丸未分类的性索/性腺间质肿瘤(SCSTs),主要由梭形细胞构成,极为罕见。将这些肿瘤与其他睾丸肿瘤,尤其是其他类型的性索/性腺间质肿瘤区分开来很重要。除了组织学标准外,免疫组化在鉴别诊断中也起着重要作用。我们描述了这一罕见肿瘤类型的单个病例,并基于相关文献回顾讨论鉴别诊断选项。还探讨了缺乏可靠形态学预后因素的问题。
