Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour, also Sertoli-Leydig tumour, is a rare tumour of the gonad in the sex cord-stromal group of tumours.
General
- Sertoli and leydig cells are normal in the testis.
- Poorly differentiated tumours have sarcomatous features.[1]
- May present with masculinization (virilization).[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- Sertoli or Leydig cells.[1]
- Leydig cells:
- Polygonal pink cells
- Abundant solid or somewhat granular eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Round nuclei with fine chromatin and a small or indistinct nucleolus.
- Often in small clusters ~ 5-25 cells/cluster.
- Sertoli cells:
- Pale/clear vacuolated cytoplasm.
- Irregular nuclei with irregular/vacuolated-appearing chromatin.
- Architecture: tubules, cords or sheets.
- Leydig cells:
- Stroma.
- +/- Sarcomatous features (mucinous glands, bone, cartilage).
- Well differentiated -
- Mature Sertoli cells form tubules
- Stroma is fibrous and contains clusters of Leydig cells
- Intermediate to poorly differentiated -
- A more disorganized, more cellular, 'bluer' tumor
- Less mature Sertoli cells growing in trabeculae and nests with some tubule formation, either round or retiform.
- Leydig cells, either singly or in clusters, are present in an immature, cellular stroma.
DDx:
- Endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary (sertoliform variant) - should be positive for EMA, negative for inhibin and calretinin.
- Luteinized adult granulosa cell tumour - super rare, 50% of cell with eosinophilic cytoplasm, other findings of granulosa cell tumour, e.g. Call-Exner bodies.[3]

IHC
Features:[4]
- Inhibin +ve
- Calretinin +ve.
- WT-1 +ve.
- Melan A (MART-1) +ve - marks the Leydig component.
- Vimentin +ve.[5]
- CD99 +ve.
- AE1/AE3 and PanKeratin +ve
Others:[5]
- CD34 -ve.
- EMA -ve.
Pan-keratins and AE1/AE3 may mark granulosa cell tumors and Sertoli cell tumors causing confusion with adenocarcinoma. EMA is a better marker to exclude an epithelial tumor as EMA is negative in sex cord-stromal tumors. Highlighting why a panel of stains is needed, endometrioid adenocarcinomas may occasionally weakly express inhibin, calretinin or WT-1.
