AI Article Synopsis

  • Testicular Large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumors (LCCSTs) are rare tumors that mainly affect young males and can present as multiple growths on both testicles.
  • Diagnosing benign LCCSTs is critical to avoid unnecessary surgeries and to protect the patient's ability to have children, relying on patient history, lab tests, and imaging.
  • A case study is presented where a young male with bilateral benign LCCSTs was treated using a method that preserved testicular function, highlighting key clinical, radiological, and pathological traits.

Article Abstract

Testicular Large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumours (LCCSTs) are extremely rare. The primary challenge in benign LCCSTs, which are typically multifocal and bilateral tumours affecting young males, is to confirm the diagnosis to avoid radical intervention and preserve fertility potential. Patient clinical presentation, laboratory results, diagnostic radiological tests along with confirmatory histopathological studies, are the cornerstones in such cases, nevertheless genetic testing is warranted, as LCCSTs can be part of genetic syndrome such Carney complex. We present a case of bilateral benign LCCSTs in young male managed with testicular preservation approach with characteristic clinical, radiological and histopathological features.
