Large cell calcifying Sertoli tumor of the testis was found in a 16-year-old boy who had presented with gynecomastia. Serum estrogen level, which had been elevated preoperatively, returned to normal following orchiectomy. Charcot-Bottcher crystalloids are demonstrated in the neoplastic Sertoli cells.

Hypertrophy of the renal columns of Bertin may present as a mass, at times difficult to distinguish from neoplasia or cyst. Herein, we present a case characterized by the inability of this lesion to absorb 99mTc DTPA (99mTechnetium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) isotope on two separate renal studies.
