Unclassified sex cord/gonadal stromal tumors (SCSTs) of the testis comprised predominantly of spindle cells are extremely rare. It is important to differentiate these tumors from other testicular neoplasms, especially other types of sex cord/gonadal stromal tumors. In addition to histological criteria, immunohistochemistry plays an important role in the differential diagnosis. We describe a single case of this rare tumor type and discuss the differential diagnostics options based on a review of the related literature. The problem of the lack of reliable morphological prognostic factors is also addressed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
