Large cell calcifying sertoli cell tumor (LCCSCT) is an exceptionally rare neoplasm originating from sperm cord cells. The tumors have relatively low malignant potential and unlikely proceed to metastasis formation. The lesions may occur in an isolated form or in ca. 40% of cases may be associated with genetic abnormalities, by and large Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and Carney complex. At presentation, 20% of LCCSCT cases are bilateral and/or multifocal. Owning to characteristic skin lesions and particular hyperechoic ultrasound image of the tumor, preliminary diagnosis of the syndromic LCCSCT is possible in the preoperative period. Consequently, testicle organ-sparing procedure can be attempted, which is especially justified in bilateral lesions. Here, we report a case of a bilateral LCCSCT in a 20-year-old man with atypical Peutz-Jeghers syndrome due to amplification of the exon 1 of STK11 gene who was successfully treated with bilateral testicle-sparing tumorectomies.
巨大细胞钙化性支持细胞瘤(LCCSCT)是一种极为罕见的起源于精索细胞的肿瘤。这些肿瘤具有相对较低的恶性潜能,不太可能发生转移形成。病变可以是孤立性的,也可以在约 40%的病例中与遗传异常相关,主要是 Peutz-Jeghers 综合征和 Carney 综合征。在表现时,20%的 LCCSCT 病例是双侧和/或多灶性的。由于特征性的皮肤病变和肿瘤的特定高回声超声图像,在术前可能对综合征性 LCCSCT 进行初步诊断。因此,可以尝试进行保留睾丸的器官保留手术,在双侧病变的情况下尤其合理。在这里,我们报告了一例 20 岁男性双侧 LCCSCT 的病例,该患者因 STK11 基因外显子 1 扩增而患有非典型 Peutz-Jeghers 综合征,成功接受了双侧睾丸保留肿瘤切除术治疗。
