Abstract

Adult testicular granulosa cell tumors are rare sex cord stromal tumors. Mix sex cord stromal tumors are even rare. We report a mixed sex-cord stromal tumor of the testis in which adult granulosa cell component predominates. Case: A 63 year old male patient presented with left hemiscrotal swelling for last 2 years. Physical examination revealed a hard left testicular swelling along with left direct inguinal hernia. Left high inguinal orchidectomy was performed. Microscopy revealed a sex cord stromal tumor. The differentiation was predominantly that of an adult granulosa cell tumor with areas of sex cord stromal tumor with annular tubules and unclassified areas. Only a few mixed sex cord stromal tumor of testis have been reported in literature to determine their biological behaviour. Hence, there is need forlong term follow up in these patients.
