ABSTRACT
The association of cryptorchidism, functional Sertoli cell tumors, and spermatic cord torsion has been rarely reported in the literature. Two dogs were admitted for bilateral skin alopecia and weight loss. Both animals were cryptorchid and displayed a pendulous preputial sheath, prostate hypertrophy, and increased levels of circulating oestrogen. Transabdominal palpation and ultrasonography revealed the presence of neoplastic retained gonads. During surgery, spermatic cord torsion was also detected in the enlarged neoplastic testes of both dogs. Histologic examination confirmed the presence of Sertoli cell tumors that were primarily responsible for the feminizing syndrome. Complete remission of all symptoms occurred within 3 months after orchiectomy.

Sertoli Cell Tumors are less than 1 percent of all testicular tumors. We report a 14-year-old male presenting with a left testicular mass. Orchiectomy was carried out and the pathological study informed a large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumor (LCCSCT). Its association with the Carney complex and Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome was subsequently discarded. Surgical excision was completed with a radical orchiectomy. After eight months of follow up, there is no evidence of tumor relapse.

Although endometrioid carcinoma constitutes the second most common type of primary ovarian adenocarcinoma, the sertoliform variant is rarely encountered. We describe a case of this rare ovarian carcinoma which mimics a Sertoli cell tumour in its pathological appearance

Um tumor de células de Sertoli foi encontrado em uma mulher de 32 anos, com síndrome de Peutz-Jeghers. Seu endométrio mostrava decidualizaçäo pronunciada, um achado raramente descrito em associaçäo com tumores de células de Sertoli. Esse achado poderia refletir Um tumor produtor de progesterona, mas essa hipótese näo pôde ser confirmada

Se hace una revisión de la literatura referente al tumor de células de Sertoli-Leydig en el ovario, en aspectos anatómicos, histopatológicos, clínicos y terapéuticos. Se presenta el caso de un tumor gigante de este tipo, de comportamiento maligno, enfatizandose la rareza del mismo
