We report on a 20-year-old man with a left testicular mass clinically believed to be a malignant neoplasm but subsequently identified as a large-cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumor. This is a rare form of Sertoli cell tumor with unique clinical and pathological features only recently described in the literature. The neoplasm has a low malignant potential with only 1 patient known to have had metastasis. The tumor occurs primarily during the first 2 decades of life and has been associated with endocrine disorders and cardiac myxoma. The clinician should be mindful of this tumor because of its low malignant potential and the necessity to evaluate individuals for endocrine and cardiac abnormalities.
我们报告了一名20岁男性，其左侧睾丸肿物临床上被认为是恶性肿瘤，但随后被确诊为大细胞钙化性支持细胞瘤。这是支持细胞瘤的一种罕见形式，具有独特的临床和病理特征，直到最近才在文献中有所描述。该肿瘤具有低恶性潜能，仅有1例已知发生转移。肿瘤主要发生在生命的前20年，并且与内分泌紊乱和心脏黏液瘤有关。由于其低恶性潜能以及评估个体有无内分泌和心脏异常的必要性，临床医生应留意这种肿瘤。
