Abstract excerpt
The Sertoli cell tumor (SCT) of the testis is a sex cord stromal tumor, usually sporadic, rarely associated with genetic syndromes. Much remains unclear about the molecular genetic changes involved in SCT and its histogenesis. Recently, nuclear β-catenin immunostaining has been reported in a case of bilateral SCT, but the molecular basis of the aberrant nuclear β-catenin expression remains uncertain. In the...
