Abstract 

Study objective

To document an unusual presentation of a pure Sertoli Cell tumor.

Design

Case report.

Results

We present a 10-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea with no symptoms of puberty. Surgical exploration revealed a metastatic pure Sertoli Cell tumor, which was treated with resection and chemotherapy.

Conclusion

Sertoli cell tumors are rare occurrences and should be considered in the differential diagnosis for a prepubescent girl with an abdominal mass.
